BVNA seeks nominations for 2023 awards
Nomations close on 31 July 2023.
Chance to recognise individuals who are making a difference.

The British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA) has opened nominations for this year’s BVNA Award, which will celebrate those who have worked to empower, promote and improve the profession.

The four categories for this year are:

VNJ Writer of the Year Award: for articles published in VNJ which have encouraged discussions, or positive change, or improved clinical standards in practice.

BVNA Vet of the Year: for veterinary surgeons who actively promote and empower nurses.
 
BVNA Equine Vet Nurse of the Year: for equine RVNs who promote excellence in their role to clients and/or colleagues.
 
BVNA Nursing Empowerment Award: for veterinary nurses who promote the VN profession to clients and employees, or who tirelessly promotes others.

All four categories will remain open for nominations until 31 July 2023. The awards ceremony and prize giving will take place at BVNA Congress on Saturday, 7 October 2023.

BVNA president Charlotte Pace said: “At BVNA, we are incredibly excited to announce this year’s four award categories. Our Awards Ceremony at BVNA Congress is a real highlight for us, as it provides a fantastic opportunity to spotlight and celebrate the inspiring work that individuals do. However, even being nominated for an award provides recognition and a real boost to that individual.
 
“Our VNJ Writer of the Year Award makes a return for 2023, but three of this year’s categories are brand new. These new categories reflect and celebrate the wider team dynamic of the veterinary nursing role. We want to recognise the vets who empower veterinary nurses to maximise their role within the vet-led team, plus celebrate the veterinary nurses working in equine practice who whole-heartedly champion their role. Finally, our awards also reflect this year’s theme of Empowerment, to celebrate veterinary nurses who consistently promote their profession and empower others.
 
“Please take five minutes of your time to look at the categories, and nominate a person who you feel deserves to be recognised. We look forward to reading about all the inspiring and empowering individuals who are nominated this year.”

Nominations can be made online.
