BSAVA Awards open for nominations
The BSAVA Awards celebrate the exceptional acheivements and excellence of small animal veterianry professionals.

"The BSAVA Awards are an important opportunity to recognise the inspiring work of our peers" - Krista Arnold

The BSAVA has announced the nominations are now open for the 2021 and 2022 BSAVA Awards.

BSAVA Awards celebrate the exceptional achievements and excellence of small animal veterinary professionals. To be eligible for an award, individuals do not have to be BSAVA members themselves, but they must be nominated by a BSAVA member.

“The BSAVA Awards are an important opportunity to recognise the inspiring work of our peers,” commented Krista Arnold, chair of the awards committee. “The Awards Committee cannot make nominations but relies on the BSAVA membership to put names forward for consideration. 

“Why not take a few minutes to talk to your friends and colleagues and submit your online award nominations now. You can nominate more than one person and for more than one award but you cannot nominate yourself.” 

The Awards categories are: 

Clinical

  • The Woodrow Award, recognising contributions to the advancement of small animal medicine.
  • The Bourgelat Award, recognising international contributions to small animal practice.
  • The Simon Award, recognising contributions in the field of veterinary surgery.

BBC Radio 4 documentary addresses corporate fees

BBC Radio 4's File on 4 Investigates has released a documentary exploring how corporate-owned veterinary practices may be inflating bills to increase profit.

Released on 15 April, 'What's Happening To Your Vet Bills?' revealed the policies which many corporate groups have in place to increase their profits. This included targets and upgrades which veterinary teams are tasked with meeting on a regular basis.

It also features Anrich Vets, an independently-owned practice based in Wigan. Following the case of Staffordshire terrier Benjy, who is diagnosed with a tumour, the documentary shares how the team were able to offer contextualised care and advice to make the procedure as affordable as possible for his owners.

The documentary can be heard on demand on BBC iPlayer.
