Vote for your favourite veterinary nurse

The Blue Cross is calling for people to nominate their favourite veterinary nurse.

Practices across the country are urged to put forward deserving candidates for our Veterinary Nurse of the Year award 2010.

The annual prize is presented at the British Veterinary Nursing Association’s Annual Congress between 8 – 10 October in Northamptonshire.

Last year’s award was won by Vania Brasseleur for her outstanding contribution to animal welfare, both within her veterinary practice and among the local community in Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire

Vania was nominated for the award by student vet nurse and colleague Emily Martin at Astonlee veterinary hospital in Newport Pagnell.

Emily said: “Vania is committed to helping student nurses broaden their knowledge and help them on to the path to qualification.

“Her charity work, serving the public, helping colleagues and of course her nursing abilities are all truly fantastic! I don’t think anybody could ask for a better nurse.” 

Nominations for this year’s award can be made by filling out the nomination form here or by contacting Sally Leathem on 01993 825577.

The deadline for nominations is Friday 20 August 2010.
