New Golden Jubilee Award to celebrate outstanding veterinary nurses
29 March 2011
The Veterinary Nurses Council has launched a new award to celebrate outstanding achievement, to mark the 50th anniversary of veterinary nursing.
The Golden Jubilee Award will recognise an exceptional contribution to the veterinary nursing profession and/or a positive contribution to animal welfare.
“This is a prestigious new award and a great opportunity to recognise someone who has made a positive impact on our profession,” says Liz Branscombe, Chairman of the Veterinary Nurses Council.
“VN Council strongly felt that the award should be accessible to a wide spectrum of veterinary nurses, so nominees could come from those veterinary nurses involved in clinical practice, research, teaching or politics – in fact, any aspect of veterinary nursing,” she adds.
Nominations should be received by 1 May 2011, and more information, together with the nomination form, can be found on our VN Golden Jubilee page.
The award will be presented at RCVS Day on 1 July 2011.
