Explained in plain English
Who regulates vets now?
Currently, the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) is the main regulatory body for vets in the UK. They set professional standards, handle complaints, and oversee veterinary education. The government's plan to create an 'independent regulator' suggests a shift towards a new, potentially broader, oversight body for the entire veterinary sector.
