Petition Review arrangements for registering veterinarians who qualified outside the UK

We want the Government to review existing arrangements for registration of veterinarians who qualified outside of the UK, and look at how legislation governing this could be reformed to make it easier for non-UK veterinarians to work in the UK.

More details

Veterinarian jobs are on the shortage occupation list, but we believe current registration requirements create too many barriers to veterinarians who have qualified outside of the UK.

As a concerned vet I believe that our veterinary workforce should be diverse and inclusive, welcoming professionals from various backgrounds and regions. Currently, the registration process for veterinarians qualified outside the UK and EU can create barriers to the potential contributions of highly skilled individuals who may have acquired their expertise elsewhere.
