The RCVS Fellowship is a learned society whose key purpose is to advance veterinary standards by providing a resource of independent knowledge for the benefit of the veterinary profession.

“Being a part of this society is not only an honour for the recognition of my achievements to date, but allows for greater future developments, through collaborations in research and veterinary education. The diversity of the Fellowship can help distill thoughts within the profession and strengthen the value of science in society, by increasing awareness of veterinary science, and clinical practice, and how these impact people’s day to day lives” Dr. Kerry Rolph.
Dr. Rolph started her career in Small Animal Medicine at Edinburgh University, specifically Feline Medicine, and she later became more involved in both Canine and Feline Internal Medicine, with an interest in infectious disease control.
