About us
We are RCVS Knowledge, a charity with a mission to advance the quality of veterinary care for the benefit of animals, the public and society.
We empower and support veterinary teams to provide evidence-based, quality care and improved animal health and welfare outcomes.
Our vision is simple: healthier animals, people and planet.
Our mission is to advance the quality of veterinary care for the benefit of animals, the public, and society.
We are driven by our purpose: to empower and support veterinary teams to provide evidence-based, quality care and improved animal health and welfare outcomes.
Our work
Veterinary teams face many challenges in accessing up to date knowledge and applying it in practice. To support them and deliver our mission we:
- Create and share practical support and tools to help veterinary teams and other animal health professionals deliver better animal health and welfare outcomes in a structured and sustained way.
- Provide veterinary science and animal health resources to help busy veterinary professionals stay up to date with the most relevant research and apply it in practice.
- Curate and raise awareness of veterinary history to ensure that veterinary care today and in the future is built on knowledge and understanding of the past.
We are the charity partners of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS).
Our strength is in working together with veterinary teams, animal owners and all those involved in animal health to advance the quality of veterinary care.
