Do you know a practice wellbeing star?
The Practice Wellbeing Star nominations were launched to accompany the Vet Wellbeing Awards.

Nominations open for annual awards.

Has someone in your practice team gone above and beyond to make your workplace a positive one during the coronavirus pandemic? Then why not nominate them for a 2020 Practice Wellbeing Star!

The joint RCVS Mind Matters Initiative/SPVS Practice Wellbeing Star nominations recognise individuals who have held up morale during a time when practices are facing unprecedented staffing and financial issues.

Launched in 2019, the nominations accompany the Vet Wellbeing Awards, which have been postponed owing to practices neither having the time not resources to conduct the application process.

Nominees receive a certificate in recognition of their colleagues’ appreciation of their achievements and will be entered into the prize draw for a pair of tickets to attend the joint SPVS and Veterinary Management Group Congress in January 2021.

Further information on how to nominate is on the Vet Wellbeing Award website.
