Raise a concern about a veterinary professional
Learn how the RCVS handles concerns about veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses, and what we can and can’t help with.
Concerns for veterinary professionals
As the regulator for veterinary professionals, we have a duty to consider concerns raised about veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses.
Not all concerns lead to disciplinary action, but every concern is taken seriously and assessed carefully.
If you’re thinking about raising a concern - or if one has been raised about you - the information below explains what to expect and where to get support.
If you have questions or need advice before raising a concern, contact our Professional Conduct Team at [email protected] or call 020 7202 0789.

Illegal veterinary practice
If you believe that someone is working as a veterinary surgeon when not qualified to do so, or not registered with us, and you have evidence of this, we would like to hear from you.
