Nominations sought for VN Golden Jubilee award

The Veterinary Nurses (VN) Council of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) is seeking nominations for its Golden Jubilee award.

The award recognises an exceptional contribution made to the veterinary nursing profession and/or a positive contribution to animal welfare. The Golden Jubilee award was inaugurated to mark the 50th anniversary of veterinary nurse training in 2011.

“This is a prestigious award and a great opportunity to recognise someone who has made a positive impact on our profession,” says Liz Branscombe, Chairman of the VN Council.

Both vets and veterinary nurses are eligible to make nominations, or to be nominated, for the Golden Jubilee award; nominations should be received by 8 May 2012. More information, together with the nomination form, can be found at www.rcvs.org.uk/jubileeaward.
