There will be no veterinary surgeons, there will be only veterinary practitioners. If I remember correctly, and I leave it to our university Senators, all qualifications stand in the time in which they have been conferred even if the establishment has changed. If one was a veterinary surgeon in 1931 one is still recognised has having the acumen of a veterinary practitioner in 2005.
