BVNA are delighted to announce that their Somerset & Gloucestershire regional co-ordinator, Kate King (pictured far right), was announced the winner of the annual Bayer Animal Health ‘RCO of the Year’ competition. At the recent awards ceremony held at the BVNA Congress on Friday 11 October, Kate was presented with a prize fund of £1,000 towards future CPD meetings in her region and an additional £200 in vouchers to spend on herself.
Kate who was delighted to be winner said “I am totally thrilled to be this year’s winner. It came as a complete shock to me as I know how hard all the RCOs work at providing CPD for nurses in their regions. I plan to arrange a CPD day later in the year with the prize funds and so on behalf of all my nurses in my region I would like to say a big thank you to Bayer for their sponsorship of this award and the fantastic support they give us”.
