"A boost needed in such a tough year"
“This is the second year of our new BVNA Awards,” commented BVNA President, Jo Oakden. “We had so many fantastic nominations last year, it really was a boost needed in such a tough year.
“Following last year’s success, I am so excited to see the nominations for the four categories this year. We don't get many opportunities to shout about the amazing and inspiring work individuals do, but it makes such a big impact to give that individual recognition. Let’s shout about how great Veterinary Nurses are.”
