RCVS Knowledge announces new award categories
The new categories celebrate achievements across the profession demonstrating a commitment to evidence-based veterinary medicine.
RCVS Knowledge has announced two new categories for its 2023 awards, the Canine Cruciate Outcomes Awards and the Antimicrobial Stewardship Awards.
Celebrating individuals and teams with initiatives which advance the quality of veterinary care and demonstrate commitment to evidence-based veterinary medicine, the new awards are now open for applications.
Also open for applications are RCVS Knowledge's existing Awards, the Veterinary Evidence Student Awards and the Quality Improvement (QI) Awards.
“I am pleased to see the expansion of our award categories, which highlights the professions increasing commitment to an evidence-based approach to veterinary medicine as well as continuous improvement,” said RCVS Knowledge executive director Chris Gush.
Open to any veterinary surgeons or teams who are using the Canine Cruciate Registry (CCR), the Canine Cruciate Outcome Awards will recognise those implementing Quality Improvement initiatives alongside the CCR.
The Antimicrobial Stewardship Awards will showcase practical examples where individuals and teams are improving antimicrobial prescribing. Applicants should be able to demonstrate how they have used the RCVS Knowledge AMR resources to make improvements. Divided into farm animal, equine and companion animal categories, the awards are open to anybody working within the veterinary industry.
Chris Gush continued: “Our awards showcase excellence within the professions, and we look forward to receiving applications from veterinary professionals, teams and students from both the UK and abroad.”
All four award categories are open for applications now, and will close on 13 January 2023. For more information on the awards and how to apply, visit the RCVS Knowledge website.
FIVP has shared a survey, inviting those working in independent practice to share their views on the CMA's proposed remedies.
