Information

Hospital Membership:This runs from January 1st to December 31st inclusive. The membership is open to any Veterinary Hospital (Practice Standards Scheme Tier 3) in the United Kingdom, which has been approved and currently recognised by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. Membership entitles the holders to use the BVHA logo on their letterheads and other stationery or publicity material. The Hospital member may also display the BVHA plaque and wear BVHA logo items. The membership includes all members of the RCVS who are owners or employees of the Veterinary Hospital.

Associate Membership:This runs from January 1st to December 31st inclusive. The membership is open to any practice or individual member of the RCVS who is not eligible for Hospital Membership.

Retired Associate Membership: Members who retire from active veterinary employment may retain membership at a reduced annual subscription.

RCVS Three Tier Practice Standards Document: Operational as from April 2004, tier three of this standard is the new Veterinary Hospital standard. The document is freely available on the RCVS and BVHA web sites, but we can supply a printed version (46 A4 pages in a binder) for a modest charge. Please note that although all efforts are made to ensure that this copy is up to date, the definitive version of the Standard at any time is the one to be found on the RCVS web site.

1 One year's Associate Membership to the BVHA

Hospital plan review by the BVHA Council. The BVHA Council is happy to consider and advise on the development of your own building or refurbishment plans. This is best done at the conceptual stage, rather than presenting architectural drawings which will cost a great deal more to alter: previously practice owners have gone away from the meeting having decided to move the front door to the other end of the building! The combined expertise of the BVHA Council can be used to help avoid pitfalls and will offer guidance to help ensure that your premises fulfil the RCVS regulations. There are two options. Firstly you can attend a BVHA Council meeting (held twice a yeary). Around twenty minutes of combined Council time will be dedicated to examining the plans and providing verbal comments and suggestions. Alternatively the plans can be submitted by post and will be distributed to four members of Council. Each of the Council members will provide a report which will be emailed to the practice, with back-up telephone conversations where appropriate. Some of the individual members are also willing to offer private and more in-depth consultations.

Pre-Inspection Visits.
Practices can ask for a BVHA Council member to make a pre-inspection visit to their premises, as an informal check that they are likely to fulfil the criteria of the practice standards scheme. No liability is accepted, and practices are asked to sign a disclaimer to this effect before the visit, but it may help to offer reassurance before spending the money on an RCVS inspection with the risk of expensive failure.
Tier two and tier three practices are eligible for these visits. Members are asked to pay only the travelling expenses of the Council member who visits (40p per mile for the first 100 miles and 20p per mile thereafter or an equivalent value first class rail ticket). It is expected that membership will be continued for a minimum of three years post free inspection so helping maintain the significant cost reduction for members and supporting the Council members undertaking such visits in their own time. Non members are charged a fee of £250 plus travelling expenses.

"What is a Veterinary Hospital?" leaflets. A leaflet designed to inform your clients of the benefits they receive from attending one of this country's Veterinary Hospitals. If we are going to the expense of providing Hospital quality facilities it is important to let our clients know why. The leaflet having been written by the BVHA also provides a third party endorsement of your hospital and is well received.
