Veterinary Receptionist of the Year Award launched
Nominations for the Veterinary Receptionist of the Year Award are now open.
A new award that recognises the hard work and dedication of veterinary receptionists has been launched by the British Veterinary Receptionist Association (BVRA).
Nominations for the Veterinary Receptionist of the Year Award are now open, and entries are welcomed from both clients and veterinary colleagues. The winner will be announced at the BVRA annual congress on 16 March.
“Veterinary receptionists are as crucial to the success of a veterinary practice as any other role,” explains BVRA founder Brian Faulkner. “They are first and last impression a client has of a veterinary practice and the association is keen to recognise and reward their unique contribution to the industry.
“We’ve been astounded by how popular the BVRA has been since its launch one year ago with receptionists at every level of experience, reporting appreciation as well as the benefits of Accredited Veterinary Receptionist Award,” he continued. “It’s entirely appropriate that BVRA champions ‘best practice’ and therefore the BVRA’s Veterinary Receptionist of the Year Award will recognise their hard work.”
To celebrate the launch of the award, three randomly-selected veterinary practices will receive a golden ticket that will allow one person to attend the BVRA’s second annual congress in Sutton Coldfield. The congress programme includes keynote speaker Benjamin Mee, whose story was inspiration for the Hollywood blockbuster 'We bought a Zoo'.
Nominations for the award can be made via the BVRA website. The closing date for entries is the 31 January 2019.
Companies marketing medicines for small pets exempt from authorisation must submit their annual return to the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) by 30 November 2026.
