RCVS Knowledge reveals award winners
"The improvements the teams have made in practice and education will undoubtedly enhance patient care and outcomes" - Pam Mosedale.
The awards celebrate excellence in quality improvement.

RCVS Knowledge has announced the winners of its RCVS Knowledge Awards for 2022.

The Knowledge Awards, now in their fourth year, are presented to those who have shown excellence in Quality Improvement (QI) within their organisation. 

Executive director at RCVS Knowledge, Chris Gush, said: “The increasing number of high calibre nominations for our Knowledge Awards year-on-year, demonstrates the profession's commitment to adopting Quality Improvement in practice and education to make improvements that advance the quality of veterinary care.”

The winners of the 2022 awards for Quality Improvement are Donview Veterinary Centre, Eloise Collins from Beech House Veterinary Centre, Anderson Moores Veterinary Specialists and Vets Now Ltd. 

Donview Veterinary Centre's team worked together to improve post-operative temperatures. The team performed an audit, and used the results to create suggestions for improvements and implement them – demonstrating a great learning culture.

Eloise Collins, Head Veterinary Nurse at Beech House Veterinary Centre, used an honest and open approach to improve psychological safety amongst the team.

She used checklists, auditing, benchmarking, team meetings and journal clubs to improve patient care and practice culture.

A Notice to Anaesthetists (NOTAN) was introduced by Anderson Moores Veterinary Specialists to ensure that the whole team is fully up to date on the latest information regarding anaesthesia. 

Vets Now Ltd audited and captured benchmarks for dystocia cases, and used the data to inform guidelines and relevant resources, delivered to the team through specialised training, after noticing that there was room for improvement in care of dystocia cases. 

Pam Mosedale, quality improvement clinical lead at RCVS Knowledge, commented: “I am delighted to see the range of Quality Improvement initiatives in our fourth year of Knowledge Awards.

“The improvements the teams have made in practice and education will undoubtedly enhance patient care and outcomes.

“This year’s winners truly demonstrate the impact that Quality Improvement has when the whole team works together towards continuous improvement.”

Five promising QI projects were awarded 'Highly Commended – One to Watch'. This title was awarded to Rosemullion Vets, CVS Equine, VetPartners, VetLed and Putlands Veterinary Surgery.
