IVNA Awards

This year at the IVNA Annual Veterinary Nurses Congress we are delighted to host the presentation of the 4th annual Veterinary Nurse Awards. All veterinary nurses and support staff deal with many difficult and challenging tasks while in practice. This in itself deserves an award; however there are occasions where nurses go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that their patients and clients receive the utmost of special care and attention. Should you know someone who has made a contribution, which you think deserves recognition, nominate them for an award. The contribution can be an outstanding one or a simple gesture which you feel made a big difference to their patients, clients, or practice team. There are 3 categories for these awards. Registered Veterinary Nurse, Student Veterinary Nurse and Support Staff.
The awards are kindly sponsored by Royal Canin, Allianz & Zoetis, fomerly Pfizer.
