We are inviting nominations for the 2024 Nurse Empowerment Award to celebrate individuals who go above and beyond to champion the role of the equine veterinary nurse. Nominations close on Friday 26 April 2024.
Examples of actions that make an individual the perfect nominee for the BEVA Empowerment Award include:
- Promoting the equine veterinary nursing role within practice and to the public
- Supporting and inspiring equine veterinary nurses
- Demonstrating that nurses are integral to equine practice
- Expanding the role of the equine veterinary nurse within practice or the wider profession
- Going above and beyond to demonstrate what nurses can bring to equine patient care
- Promoting or encouraging further training and upskilling of equine veterinary nurses
- Using the equine veterinary nurse qualification to advance veterinary medicine or equine welfare
- Creating a professional environment where equine veterinary nurses can fulfil their potential
- Inspiring others to join the equine veterinary nurse profession
“RVNs are an important asset to any equine practice; they have invested a lot of time and effort to become highly skilled. By formally recognising individuals who are actively empowering nurses to perform to their full potential and to progress within the profession, we hope to inspire others to follow their lead. Ultimately this should deliver better job satisfaction for RVNs and more efficient and rewarding teamwork for the practice.” Dave Rendle, Immediate Past President
