Vet’s corner
CAMBRIDGE University’s veterinary medicine school was given a stay of execution after assuring university bosses it would manage to tackle the dozens of issues uncovered by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), putting the course’s accreditation at risk.
The school is operating under a temporary “conditional accreditation”, due to be reviewed later this year, and the university had suggested it was “minded to suspend” the entire veterinary course, closing it to new entrants in 2026. A spokesperson told the Eye that after a meeting in March “the general board was assured that the appropriate resources, plans and processes were in place” to get proper accreditation back.
