The RCVS has announced that the Registrar, Gordon Hockey, has decided to leave the College after 16 years' service.
Gordon served first as Assistant Registrar / Head of Professional Conduct, and, since 2012, as Registrar / Director of Legal Services.
Dr Bradley Viner, RCVS President, said: "We wish to thank Gordon for all his hard work and wish him every success in the future.
"He has been a key figure at the RCVS for many years, and has brought about much positive change in the organisation, particularly with respect to reform of our disciplinary processes and the introduction of our new Charter, in February 2015."
PS: Whilst you're here, take a moment to see our latest job opportunities for vets.
Always affable, always courteous, I'll miss his annual red ink on my manifesto submissions.
Did he jump or was he pushed? Maybe we'll read about it in his memoirs.
Wishing him a fun filled future,
Tom Lonsdale
