Many congratulations to Louise Want from The Feldon Veterinary Centre in Warwickshire, who, last night, was awarded the prestigious title of ‘Vet Nurse of the Year 2010’ at the Petplan Veterinary Awards – the Oscars of the veterinary profession.

ouise received praise for being an excellent role model for her team of nurses, and for the constant support that she provides to her colleagues and clients. The independent panel of judges also found Louise to be a great inspiration to all and having worked in the veterinary profession for 30 years, she is as passionate and dedicated, as when she first started.

“I’m completely shocked! It’s fabulous to win,” said Louise. “I’ve been in the industry for 30 years this year, and it’s such a special way to celebrate it, in fact it may have been the reason why I was nominated. It’s an amazing award, and great to be acknowledged.”
