    " The Katherine" will do for me. Simplicity is always best.

  • In my case BVM&S MRCVS. The first five are my degree and the last five cost me a few hundred quid a year to maintain!

    Why does it cost you to maintain the MRCVS ? 

    Am I missing something?

    I imagine it's membership fees granma - I was only allowed to use my professional letters while I was a paid up member of my professional society (chiropodists / podiatrists in my case). 

    Belonging to a professional society gave me access to other benefits including professional support, access to seminars, insurance etc etc. - most professionals belong to something like that.

    Social workers also have to pay a hefty annual fee (as well as undertake ongoing training) to remain members of their professional body, and cannot practise as social workers unless they do.
