The award celebrates the commitment of staff who support veterinary nurses.
All members of the veterinary profession, including student vets and veterinary nurses, are being invited to nominate individuals for the Central Qualifications Veterinary Nurse Educator of the Year Award.
Nominations for the award, which celebrates the commitment and hard work of staff who support veterinary nurses in the UK, will close on Friday, 11 April 2025.
Nominees can be anyone involved in training and educating veterinary nurses in the UK, from college tutors and practical teachers, to clinical coaches and other members of the training practice teams.
The winners will be presented with their awards on 31 May at Central Hall, Westminster, by British naturalist and adventurer Catherine (Cat) Capon.
CQ director Jacqui Garrett said: “The VN Educator of the Year Award is a wonderful opportunity to recognise and celebrate the dedication and hard work of those who train and educate veterinary nurses in the UK.
“It is an honour to meet the winners at the CQ graduation ceremony, and to acknowledge the successes of their students. Having seen many deserving individuals nominated since the inception of our award, we look forward to receiving numerous nominations once again this year.”
Last year’s winners were Donna Green of Central College of Animal Studies and Beverly Shingleton of Plumpton College, who were recognised for their talents, skills and dedication to veterinary nurse training.
