The categories available for nominations are The Queen's Medal, The Veterinary Nursing Golden Jubilee Award, The RCVS International Award, The RCVS Impact Award, The RCVS Inspiration Award, Honorary Associateship, The RCVS Compassion Award and The RCVS Student Community Award. A full description of the criteria for each can be found on the RCVS website.
Winners will be chosen by the RCVS Officer Team and ratified by RCVS Council, and Veterinary Nurses Council when applicable.
Two independent vets have launched a podcast to help owners strengthen their bond with pets. Dr Maggie Roberts and Dr Vanessa Howie, who have worked in both veterinary practice and major charities, are keen to use their experience to enable people to give pets a better life.
