The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons are now accepting nominations for 2016, for its two honours which recognise those who have made an outstanding contribution to the veterinary profession and veterinary science.
The Queen’s Medal is the College’s most prestigious honour that can be awarded to a veterinary surgeon, and is available to members of the profession who have had a highly distinguished career and whose achievement deserves special recognition.
The Honorary Associateship is conferred to a small number of non-members of the RCVS who have made a significant contribution to the veterinary sphere, including veterinary nurses, scientists, lecturers and laypeople.
A decision made by RCVS Council in June 2015 to restructure the RCVS Fellowship has resulted in the College no longer conferring Honouring Fellowships. The last Honorary Fellowship will be awarded at this years RCVS Day on Friday 10th July.
Information on nominating someone for an RCVS honour can be found here. The closing date for nominations is 11th September 2015.
