Hi, Andreea,

I assume that you have registered with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and obtained your membership?

I am already registered with RCVS

Hi,
If you are registered MRCVS, that is a good - and essential - start.

Exactly what experience have you had, and when did you qualify as a veterinary surgeon in Rumania?

W

I qualified in june 2006 and in july 2006 i came in uk so i didnt had time to gain any experience. and because of this time being out of job a lot of my knowlege are lost.thats way i am thinking to go back to school for one or two years to fill confident again.but i dont know the steps i have to folow.in the uk a vet can only work in a practise?

thank you
andreea

Hi, Andreea,

There are lots of jobs for vets in the UK as well as general practice - work in animal charities such as the Blue Cross or the RSPCA or the PDSA, DEFRA ( the State Veterinary Service), Meat Inspection, Medicine manufacturers, for a start.
Have you looked at situations vacant on this (Vetclick) site?
