Get to know our new President
Episode 35
Wednesday, 19 August, 2026
In this episode, we sit down with our new RCVS President, Tim Hutchinson MRCVS. In the chat, we explore his career to date, the path that led him to become RCVS President, and his hopes for his presidential year. For part two of the episode, we’ll be joined by our Head of Insights, Policy and Public Affairs, Ben Myring, to discuss the publication of Defra's recent White Paper, which sets out the government's proposals for new legislation that would replace the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966. We'll be speaking about exactly what a White Paper is, its contents, why it's significant, and how it fits into the wider process of creating and implementing new legislation.
