RCVS Day 2006 - open to all

All members of the veterinary profession are welcome to attend this year's RCVS Day - the Annual General Meeting and award ceremony - taking place on Friday 7 July 2006 in the Prince Albert Suite at London Zoo, Regent's Park, London.

London Zoo is a division of the Zoological Society of London, the charity devoted to conservation of animals and their habitats. Located in Regent's Park, the zoo houses over 650 different species, including reptiles, fish, invertebrates, birds and mammals and communicates vital messages to visitors about sustainability, lifestyle and conservation, as well as taking part in breeding programmes.

Following the AGM and presentation of awards, Andrew Routh MRCVS, Senior Veterinary Officer of the Zoological Society of London will talk about conservation projects being carried out by the society, focusing on the declining population of vultures in India.

Andrew Routh qualified in 1981 from Liverpool University. After over a decade in general practice he joined the RSPCA as veterinary manager for one of its wildlife hospitals. Since 1998 he has worked with zoo and wild animals on four continents. He now has primary clinical responsibility for the animals held in the collection at London Zoo and also works with vultures in India. Mr Routh teaches on the Royal Veterinary College's MSc in Wild Animal Health and is an Honorary Lecturer in the RVC's Department of Pathology and Infectious Diseases.

Following the lecture, guests are free to explore the zoo at their leisure before enjoying a fork luncheon on the terrace of the Prince Albert Suite, weather permitting.
