Disciplinary Committee hearings are the culmination of the RCVS complaints procedure; they are generally held in public and, subject to space limitations, anyone may attend.
The Disciplinary Committee is a constituted judicial tribunal under the 1966 Act and follows rules of evidence similar to those used in a court of law.
The burden of proving an allegation falls upon the RCVS, and the RCVS must prove to the standard that the Committee is sure.
A full list of DC hearings from the last three years is available on our main website (this link will open in a new window).
