BVA Young Vet award opens for entries
The deadline for entries is 28 August.
The search for the next BVA Young Vet of the Year has begun.

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has started its search for its next Young Vet of the Year, and is asking veterinary professionals to nominate candidates for the accolade.

The award, sponsored by Zoetis, invites members of the veterinary community to nominate a colleague who is at the beginning of their veterinary career.

Nominees may have provided outstanding care to patients, promoted causes in the sector, supported their clients and colleagues or given back to their community. They may also be chosen for inspiring others in the veterinary community or for their dedication.

The competition is open to any RCVS registered veterinary surgeons who are within the first eight years of their career. They can be nominated by any colleague in the veterinary sector, as well as nominating themselves.

The title comes with a prize package which includes £1,000, a year of free BVA membership, a mentoring/engagement opportunity with Zoetis and career development opportunities such as becoming a BVA ambassador.

The winner will be announced on 16 November at BVA’s black-tie Gala Dinner, which takes place at London Vet Show. The deadline for entries is midnight on 28 August 2023.

BVA junior vice-president Anna Judson said: “Our profession is full of incredible people, who are doing amazing work: vets who give their absolute best every day to give animals exemplary care as well as showing compassion and understanding to their owners. They are doing this fantastic work against a challenging, highly-pressured backdrop of workforce shortages, a cost-of-living crisis and the climate crisis.
 
“However, our vets, including vets in the early stages of their career, consistently step up to the challenge and I’m so proud to be part of this profession. Now is the time to celebrate these young vets, who work so hard and deserve to be recognised for the vital roles they play in looking after the health and welfare of animals in the UK.”

Entries can be submitted on the BVA website.
