Past RCVS office holders

Find out more about past RVCS office holders.

The presidential team of the RCVS comprises the President and two Vice-Presidents.  All three sit on the Operational Board, together with the Treasurer, CEO, Registrar and chair of the Veterinary Nurses Council and Education and Standards Committees.

By custom, one Vice-President generally becomes President the next year, and the retiring President becomes the second Vice-President, although this does not always happen. The position of Treasurer is normally held for three years.

Many prominent veterinary surgeons have served on the presidential team and Council over the years.
