Overview

The Government is calling on all veterinary professionals to participate in a quick online survey to find out more about the work that is being done on unshod horses (An activity carried out by farriers and those commonly referred to as "equine barefoot trimmers").

All views are welcome and everyone is encouraged to use the online survey to answer the specific questions posed.

Why your views matter

The purpose of this survey is to hear the views of the veterinary profession.

The results of this survey will form part of the evidence base that is being collected and analysed as part of the first stage of the Review of the Minor Procedures Regime (RMPR) project.

The RMPR project is a long term project. The intention is to explore the strengths and weaknesses of the current regime for the exercise of suitable controls on certain minor veterinary procedures that may be carried out by non-veterinarians. The long term aim of the project is to create a modern, effective, sustainable and easily understood regime which is fit for purpose, adaptable and take account of future developments.
