Blue Cross search for VN of the year!

The Blue Cross charity is calling for nominations from veterinary practices for its 2011 VN award.

The yearly veterinary nurse award is presented at the British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA) Annual Congress. It recognises the contribution of veterinary nurses in educating the public about responsible pet ownership and the welfare of pets in the community.

Nominations for this year's award can be made by completing the nomination form on The Blue Cross website at: http://www.bluecross.org.uk/BVNA2011 or by contacting Sally Leathem on 01993 825577.

The deadline for nominations is Friday 26 August 2011.

The Blue Cross has taken the lead in animal care for over a hundred years. Its four animal hospitals provide a lifeline for pet owners on low incomes.  Its community vet services also cater for elderly and disabled people. Without the charity's hospitals, and the services they provide, many people would be without the benefits that pet ownership can bring.
