The BVNA Northern Ireland Veterinary Nursing Awards are inviting nominations for the 2014 round.

The BVNA, in association with Hill's Pet Nutrition, are inviting the profession to  help recognise a deserving individual by nominating him or her to receive an award, which will be given during the 2014 BVNA Northern Ireland Congress.

As well as nominating a veterinary nursing colleague from your practice, you can also encourage your clients to take part.

There are four nursing categories for the awards
:

·         Veterinary Nurse of the Year
·         Student Veterinary Nurse of the Year
·         Animal Nursing Assistant of the Year
·         Charity Nurse of the Year  
 
So if you are harbouring a nursing star in your practice, why not acknowledge their talents by nominating them for one of the above awards – and make their day!

A shortlist of nominees will be drawn up and the winner of each category will be announced during the gala banquet on May 23, 2014.

Nomination forms and a promotional poster for your practice are available from the BVNA website at www.bvna.org.uk or by sending a request by email to bvna@bvna.co.uk
