EU Veterinary Qualifications. View printer-friendly (PDF) version The Veterinary Surgeons Act (1966) states that only persons listed in the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) Register are allowed to practise as veterinarians in the United Kingdom. Veterinarians who have trained abroad must be registered with the RCVS before they can practise as vets in the UK. The process of registration varies depending on whether or not the RCVS recognises the qualification held by the applicant and the institution which granted that qualification. EU Directive 78/1026EEC provides for the free movement of veterinary surgeons within EU member states. If you are a National of an EU or EEA Member State (including Switzerland) and you hold one of the EU qualifications listed below you are eligible to register with the RCVS under the RCVS Registration of EU and EAA Agreement. If you are not an EU National you will be required to take the RCVS Statutory Membership Examination. See the RCVS website - www.rcvs.org.uk - for more information.
