Nominate now for nursing awards
Exceptional nurses recognised at Northern Ireland congress

The British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA) & Hills Northern Ireland Veterinary Nursing Awards 2013 are now open for nominations.

Though a dedication to caring for animals is seen everyday within the veterinary practice, the opportunity has arrived once again to recognise a vet nurse that has gone above the call of duty in pet care.

If you know of an exceptional nurse that deserves to be rewarded, nominate them for the 2013 Northern Ireland Veterinary Nursing Awards.

Winners will be announced on May 31, 2013, at the Gala Banquet, held during the joint British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) (NI) and BVNA (NI) congress.

Nomination forms and promotional posters are available via the BVNA website.
