Rewarding
BVA president Gwen Rees said: “Working in the veterinary profession is incredibly rewarding but it is undoubtedly hard work.
“The BVA Awards are a wonderful opportunity to shine the spotlight on the vets and vet teams who work with such dedication, whether that’s delivering the best care for animals and their clients, ensuring a positive workplace culture or pushing the boundaries of veterinary science.
“If you know an individual or team who deserves recognition, please nominate them for one of our awards.”
Nominations close on 23 November. More information can be found on the BVA’s website.
