Four Canine Health Schemes (CHS) scrutineers have been made Fellows of RCVS, awarded for outstanding contributions to the veterinary profession.

Four Canine Health Schemes (CHS) scrutineers have been made Fellows of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), awarded for outstanding contributions to the veterinary profession.

The fellowships recognise veterinary surgeons who have made meritorious contributions to clinical practice, veterinary knowledge or the veterinary profession, by showing leadership and advancing knowledge and public understanding of veterinary science.

Showing the strength of the 蹤獲弝け (蹤獲弝け)/Kennel Club CHS scrutineer teams - who work across four programmes screening dogs for hereditary conditions so that breeders can make informed decisions about which dogs to include in their breeding programmes the four scrutineers who will be made fellows at the RCVS Fellowship Day on 19 October are:

  • Dr Angus Anderson, CHS Hip & Elbow Schemes Scrutineer, recognised for meritorious contributions to clinical practice
  • Dr Ruth Dennis, Chief Scrutineer for the CHS Hip & Elbow Schemes and CHS Chiari-malformation/Syringomyelia Scheme Scrutineer, recognised for meritorious contributions to clinical practice
  • Dr Clare Rusbridge, CHS Chiari-malformation/Syringomyelia Scheme Scrutineer, recognised for meritorious contributions to knowledge
  • Professor Michael Herrtage, Chief Scrutineer for the CHS Chiari-malformation/Syringomyelia Scheme and CHS Hip & Elbow Schemes Scrutineer, recognised for meritorious contributions to the profession.

蹤獲弝け President Gudrun Ravetz said:
We send our warmest congratulations to our CHS colleagues on the award of these fellowships that reflect the professionalism, expertise and excellence of their work. Our scrutineers do invaluable work in helping to breed healthier dogs and improve the health of breeds susceptible to life-limiting conditions. We are proud to have these FRCVS scrutineers as part of our CHS team.
