"The BSAVA Awards are an important opportunity to recognise the inspiring work of our peers" - Krista Arnold

The BSAVA has announced the nominations are now open for the 2021 and 2022 BSAVA Awards.

BSAVA Awards celebrate the exceptional achievements and excellence of small animal veterinary professionals. To be eligible for an award, individuals do not have to be BSAVA members themselves, but they must be nominated by a BSAVA member.

“The BSAVA Awards are an important opportunity to recognise the inspiring work of our peers,” commented Krista Arnold, chair of the awards committee. “The Awards Committee cannot make nominations but relies on the BSAVA membership to put names forward for consideration. 

“Why not take a few minutes to talk to your friends and colleagues and submit your online award nominations now. You can nominate more than one person and for more than one award but you cannot nominate yourself.”

 Veterinary practices are being urged to help owners safely dispose of any unused and expired pet medicines - not just antibiotics - during November's Animal Medicines Amnesty.

Organised by the Responsible Use of Medicines Alliance Companion Animal and Equine (RUMA CA&E), the initative is supported by a range of cross-sector organisations.

Practices are encouraged to use the campaign to engage the whole practice team and raise awareness of the safe disposal of medicines with clients. Learn how your practice can get involved at rumacae.org.uk
