BEVA award to celebrate early-career vets
The winner will receive a year's free membership to BEVA.
The 'One to Watch' award recognise clinical excellence and equine passion.

The British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) has announced a new award to recognise equine veterinary surgeons at the beginning of their careers.

The BEVA One to Watch Award will celebrate early-career veterinary surgeons that have displayed excellent clinical skills, leadership abilities or a passion for equine welfare.

Clients, colleagues and mentors are encouraged to nominate an equine veterinary surgeon who they believe is achieving great things. Nominees must be a member of BEVA, registered with the appropriate regulatory bodies and have graduated within the past seven years.

The winner of the award will be announced at the 2025 BEVA Congress, which will take place from 10-13 September at the ICC Birmingham. They will also receive a year's free membership to BEVA, a unique Congress experience and personalised career support.

All nominators must be backed by a seconder, with at least one person holding BEVA membership. They must fill in a short form to promote their nominee for the award.

The nominations will then be reviewed by BEVA's judging panel. The panel consists of a BEVA Careers Committee representative, a senior equine veterinary surgeon, a non-equine veterinary professional and an external industry representative.

The panel will select 3-5 finalists for an online interview, who will also receive a free one-day ticket to BEVA Congress 2025 – where the winner will be announced.

Gemma Dransfield, a member of the BEVA Council said: “We all know that one superstar who's brilliant with patients, fantastic with clients, and just an all-round legend in the making,

“This is your chance to give them the recognition they deserve. The BEVA One To Watch Award recognises those who are shaping the future, setting new standards in equine care, and driving the next generation of equine veterinary excellence. Not only will they have the glowing accolade of winning, but they will also win some career-boosting perks.”

Nominations for the award will open on Friday, 25 April 2025, with shortlisting scheduled for June 2025. For more information visit the BEVA website.
