What Crisis? at the RCVS.</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/non-clinical-questions/11131/crisis-what-crisis-at-the-rcvs</link><description> We employ nine vets, ranging from 3 to around 15 years qualified. Over the last couple of days I managed to buttonhole 7 of them, and asked them (roughly) the following questions:- 
 Are you aware of the governance review at the RCVS?

I assumed that the VSA prescribed what they did and they could be left to get on with it. I voted in the elections because I felt it was right to take part in the democratic process, but I struggled to know who to vote for and probably tended to vote for experienced candidates rather than those who would shake things up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I now take much more of an interest and have been very interested in the questioning of the candidates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Crisis?

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ll bet they don&amp;#39;t fix any obvious fault in any of their kit either, and you have to do it or they &amp;quot;just send it off&amp;quot;?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Well you know the old adage - if its stuck, force it. If it breaks, we needed a new one anyway.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; But no, they&amp;#39;d never &amp;quot;just send it off&amp;quot;. They&amp;#39;d get one of the nurses to &amp;quot;just send it off&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Crisis?
