RCVS Honours and Awards open for nominations
“The power of having your hard work and dedication recognised by your friends and colleagues cannot be underestimated" – Dr Sue Paterson.

A selection of the awards will allow self-nominations for the first time.

The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) has opened nominations for its 2024 Honours and Awards.

The awards celebrate veterinary professionals and laypeople who have made a special contribution to the health and welfare of animals, the profession as a whole, or public health. They include the Veterinary Nursing Golden Jubilee Award, the RCVS International Award, and the Queen’s Medal.

For the first time, people will be able to nominate themselves for some of the awards, including the RCVS Impact Award and the RCVS Compassion Award. At least two supporting statements will still be required.

The deadline for nominations closes on 15 December 2023. Successful nominees will be invited to attend Royal College Day in July 2024.

RCVS president Dr Sue Paterson said: “Our honours and awards offer a fantastic opportunity for colleagues to shine a light on those who consistently go above and beyond in the name of improving animal health and welfare, public health, and the lives of those they come into contact with on a daily basis.

“We have such a wide range of awards, from recognising the achievements of those who have made a considerable impact to the professions over the course of their entire working lives, to highlighting the impact of those outstanding individuals who are just starting out and already making their mark on the veterinary world.

“The power of having your hard work and dedication recognised by your friends and colleagues cannot be underestimated. We are a humble and mighty profession and there are so many amazing people out there, many of whom do not realise just how incredible and influential they are. Please do take the time to look through our award categories and nominate anyone who you think would be suited for an award.”

Nomination forms can be downloaded from the RCVS website.
