BVA to host new awards dinner
Four awards will be presented at the event.
The British Veterinary Association (BVA) is set to host its first BVA Awards Dinner in November.
The event will be held on 14 November at the London Marriott Hotel Canary Wharf, close to London ExCel where the London Vet Show is taking place from 14-15 November.
The BVA Awards Dinner is replacing the BVA Gala Dinner and will see four awards presented on the night. There will also be a drinks reception, a three-course dinner and dancing.
The awards presented will be: BVA Young Vet of the Year Award, BVA Wellbeing Awards, BVA Outstanding Service Award and BVA Advancement of Veterinary Science Award.
BVA president Anna Judson said: “The veterinary profession has been under intense scrutiny in past months, as the impact of the cost-of-living crisis and XL bully ban began to be felt, swiftly followed by the Competition and Markets Authority announcing its review into the sector.
“However, we know how dedicated our vet teams are and how hard they work as well as how important it is to highlight achievements and commitment. BVA Awards is a fantastic opportunity to come together as a profession to celebrate our inspiring members and Team Vet as a whole.”
Tickets to the event can be booked here.
