The RCVS Practice Standards Scheme includes sterilisation standards — but traceability is best practice, not a legal mandate. SecuSteri helps you adopt the standard that clients expect.
The RCVS Practice Standards Scheme is a voluntary accreditation for UK veterinary practices, with approximately 69% of eligible practices participating. The scheme includes standards for sterilisation of surgical and dental instruments, but there is no specific statutory traceability mandate for veterinary practices. Clinics performing surgery increasingly use autoclaves as best practice. Digital traceability demonstrates the professional rigour that pet owners expect.
