"The BSAVA Awards are an important opportunity to recognise the inspiring work of our peers" - Krista Arnold

The BSAVA has announced the nominations are now open for the 2021 and 2022 BSAVA Awards.

BSAVA Awards celebrate the exceptional achievements and excellence of small animal veterinary professionals. To be eligible for an award, individuals do not have to be BSAVA members themselves, but they must be nominated by a BSAVA member.

“The BSAVA Awards are an important opportunity to recognise the inspiring work of our peers,” commented Krista Arnold, chair of the awards committee. “The Awards Committee cannot make nominations but relies on the BSAVA membership to put names forward for consideration. 

“Why not take a few minutes to talk to your friends and colleagues and submit your online award nominations now. You can nominate more than one person and for more than one award but you cannot nominate yourself.”
