The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) sets out clear standards of professional conduct for veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses in the UK. Among these standards is the obligation to disclose
any criminal convictions, cautions or adverse findings that could affect registration or fitness to practise. Understanding what needs to be disclosed and what does not is vital to protect your professional standing and uphold the trust of the public and the profession.
