DR Jerry Davies was installed as president of the Royal College for 201112 at RCVS Day in London last month.
He is shown above (right) with the outgoing president (now senior vicepresident) Peter Jinman and the new junior vice-president Jacqui Molyneux.
Among the presentations on the day was the inaugural Golden Jubilee Award for an exceptional contribution to veterinary nursing. This went to Jean Turner, shown with husband Trevor and daughter Sally.
Mrs Turner qualified as a veterinary nurse in 1971; Trevor qualified at the RVC in 1958 and Sally graduated from Cambridge in 1991.
