BSAVA Awards 2023 now open for nominations
The awards celebrate the outstanding achievements and contributions vets and vet nurses make to the small animal profession.
"The awards are a great way to recognise each other's skills and commitment" - Krista Arnold, BSAVA.

Nominations have opened for the 2023 BSAVA Awards, which celebrate the outstanding achievements and contributions vets and vet nurses make to the small animal profession.

This year there are eight awards up for grabs, falling under the four categories of clinical, teaching, scientific and welfare. Vets and vet nurses are being invited to nominate a colleague or contact who has made a real difference via the BSAVA website.

Krista Arnold, honorary secretary at the BSAVA, commented: “Our ambition is to celebrate all things, both big and small, happening in the profession today. The awards are a great way to recognise each other's skills and commitment, and for us to say thank you to the small animal veterinary community for everything it does to support the welfare of companion animals across the country." 

Among the awards include the J.A Wright Memorial Award - which recognises contributions to the welfare of companion animals by a qualified veterinary surgeon - and the Amoroso Award - which recognises contributions to undergraduate teaching of small animal studies. 

There is also a special award intended for individuals who are not veterinary surgeons – The Ray Butcher Award – which recognises contributions to animal welfare in the community.

Ms Arnold continued: “Any vet or vet nurse can nominate someone for a BSAVA Award, and neither the nominator nor the nominee has to be a member of the BSAVA. We are urging all those busy practitioners out there to nominate as many of their peers as they like, in as many categories as they like. Let's make this a celebration of all that is wonderful about this profession!”

A complete list of the awards is available on the BSAVA website. Nominations will remain open until Wednesday, 26 September.

BSAVA publishes Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice

The BSAVA has added a small animal nutrition advice booklet to its series of BSAVA guides.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice offers a resource for veterinary professionals to provide appropriate nutrition for animals. As well as maintaining the wellbeing of healthy pets, the guide explores how nutritional requirements change in times of illness and disease.

The guide is divided into five sections, which explore the importance of nutritional assessment; diet types; feeding at different life stages; feeding for specific situations; and feeding for specific diseases. Online resources are also in the BSAVA Library including client handouts and videos.

It is designed to be suitable for referencing, in-depth case planning and team training sessions.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice can be purchased online from the BSAVA store.
