Nominations have opened for our the RCVS 2024 Honours & Awards, which recognise veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses and laypeople, in the UK and overseas, doing their utmost for animal health and welfare, the professions and society at large.<\/p>\n
For the first time, some of our awards will also be open to self-nomination, with veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses who feel they meet the criteria for their chosen award being able to put themselves forward, although at least two supporting statements will still be required.<\/p>\n
The RCVS awards for which nominations can be made this year are:<\/p>\n
RCVS President Dr Sue Paterson FRCVS, said: \u201cThe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier this year Co. Down vet Mark Little won the Impact Award.<\/p>\n
Dr Little was jointly president of the British Veterinary Association\u2019s (BVA) Northern Ireland branch and the Northern Ireland Veterinary Association (NIVA) for 2021\/2022, a crucial time for the country\u2019s veterinary sector as the impact of the post-EU Exit arrangements under the Northern Ireland Protocol were being worked out.<\/p>\n
On receiving the award he said he was truly delighted and deeply honoured, and was glad that his work was recognised by the RCVS.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have worked hard to ensure the continued supply of veterinary medicines in Northern Ireland, simply because it is the right thing to do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe risk of losing over half the veterinary medicines in\u00a0Northern Ireland would have had a devastating and unthinkable effect on animal health and welfare.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot only does this recognise my achievements, but it also highlights the work of the team within NIVA, BVA NI and wider. Therefore, I want to dedicate this award to all who have supported this cause and helped achieve the extension to the grace period. On behalf of all the animals in Northern Ireland, I thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n
