Nominations for Golden Jubilee award
Recognising outstanding contributions to veterinary nursing

The VN Council is seeking nominations for this year's Golden Jubilee award, which  recognises outstanding contributions to the veterinary nursing profession.

Veterinary nurses, veterinary surgeons and lay people can all be nominated for their outstanding contribution to the profession.

Providing that it is supported by detailed evidence, any veterinary nurse or veterinary surgeon can make a nomination. This enables the VN Council to fully consider who to present the award to when the time comes in May.

"We are looking for those who have helped shape the VN profession," said Kathy Kissick, chairman of the VN Council.

"This award recognises those who have really made a difference and who can truly be described as exceptional."

The Golden Jubilee award was launched in 2011 to celebrate the first 50 years of veterinary nurse training. Sue Badger was recipient in 2012.

Nominations must be made by May 1. Click here for a nomination form.
