This overview summarises how ANCHOR governs AI use for buyer and procurement review. It is a summary and is not a compliance or certification claim.
What ANCHOR governs
ANCHOR governs workflows around AI use. It is not diagnostic, prescribing, or treatment-planning AI, and it does not perform autonomous triage.
Human review
Human review is visible and required. AI-supported outputs remain subject to professional judgement before operational use.
Governance receipts
Governed activity is explainable through governance receipts, which are metadata governance evidence. They do not prove clinical correctness, patient safety, professional competence, or regulatory compliance.
Governance surfaces
ANCHOR brings together governance surfaces, including:
- Trust Pack and readiness evidence
- RCVS-themed self-assessment
- ANCHOR Learn
- client transparency
- incident and near-miss governance metadata
AI literacy
Learning activity is described as CPD-recordable AI literacy activity. It is not RCVS-accredited CPD unless a formal accreditation has actually been achieved.
EU AI Act readiness
Where the EU AI Act is referenced, Article 4 is treated only as an AI-literacy readiness theme, subject to legal review and an amendment watch. UK applicability depends on EU nexus and legal analysis and is not assumed.
No compliance guarantee
ANCHOR helps clinics evidence responsible AI governance practices aligned with emerging professional expectations. It does not make a clinic compliant with any law or professional standard.
Important notice
ANCHOR helps clinics evidence responsible AI governance practices. It does not make a clinic compliant with any law or professional standard, and it does not replace veterinary judgement. These pages are prepared for transparency and solicitor review and are not legal advice.
