BVNA President, Charlotte Pace says:

“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.”
