Designations in the Department of Veterinary Medicine

With immediate effect

The General Board, on the recommendation of the Faculty Board of Veterinary Medicine, has approved the modification of existing designations, and the introduction of new designations, in order to effect a restructure of designations within the Department of Veterinary Medicine.

The reason for the proposed changes is to bring designations in the Department into line with those in other UK Veterinary Schools and to provide clear designations for the leadership remits in the Department.

The following consequential changes have been made to the General Board Regulations for the Department of Veterinary Medicine (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 639), by revising Regulation 2, deleting existing Regulation 3, and inserting new Regulations 3–5 as below.

2. The Faculty Board of Veterinary Medicine shall designate the Head of the Department of Veterinary Medicine as Dean of the Veterinary School, providing always that he or she is a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons.

3. The Faculty Board of Veterinary Medicine shall designate as Associate Dean for Veterinary Education in the Department of Veterinary Medicine an officer who holds an appointment in the Department.

4. The Faculty Board of Veterinary Medicine shall designate as Associate Clinical Dean in the Department of Veterinary Medicine an officer who holds an appointment in the Department.

5. The Faculty Board of Veterinary Medicine shall designate as Associate Dean for Research in the Department of Veterinary Medicine an officer who holds an appointment in the Department.
