SPVS are pleased to announce the launch of SPVS Veterinary Business Excellence Awards – an initiative designed to celebrate and honour outstanding veterinary practices that have demonstrated exceptional performance and innovation in key areas crucial to the future success of the profession. These awards are part of SPVS commitment to fostering excellence, growth, and leadership within the veterinary community as defined by the Thriving in Practice hub.
The awards are presented across four distinctive categories, each reflecting a vital aspect of a successful veterinary practice:
Veterinary practices who feel they have excellence to showcase are invited to submit their nominations via the online entry form (below) highlighting why they deserve to receive the award against each of the selection criteria outlined. The SPVS Board will review submissions and shortlist the top 3 nominations in each of the above categories.
Practices shortlisted, will be contacted, and asked to submit a more detailed statement of 750 words/or a 90 second video, giving opportunity to really showcase their accomplishments.
SPVS members will evaluate the final submissions and vote for a winner in each category. The 4 category winners will win tickets to SPVS Congress 2024, at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole (3 team members per practice), where an overall winner will be announced. They will also have the opportunity to present their top tips to members if they wish to.
Participating in the Veterinary Business Excellence Awards offers veterinary practices the chance to showcase their accomplishments, benchmark against other industry leaders, and inspire continuous improvement. By recognising and sharing best practices, we aim to elevate the standards of excellence across the veterinary profession.
