Vets Now Wins Novartis Animal Health Best Practice Employer Award
We are delighted to announce that Richard Dixon and Vets Now have won the coveted Best Practice Employer Award from Novartis Animal Health and BVNA.
The award was presented to Richard Dixon, Managing Director of Vets Now at the recent British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) Annual Congress held in Birmingham.
Set up by Novartis Animal Health, the award is to recognise the veterinary practices and businesses which have created the best working environment for their nurses and support staff, which in turn helps them offer the highest standards of veterinary care for pet owners.
The award is nominated by employees of a practice and the organisation's staff and nominations are judged by a panel including representatives of the British Veterinary Nursing Association, Novartis, Veterinary Nursing Journal and www.vetnurse.co.uk
Commenting on the award, Richard Dixon said; "I am absolutely delighted to have been presented with this award. I had no idea that Vets Now had been nominated. Vets Now strives to create the best possible working environment, offering exciting and rewarding careers for vets, vet nurses and support staff combined with access to a range of CPD courses to support career development with the field of Emergency and Critical Care. We aim to offer our staff an unrivalled work/life balance and winning this award highlights how far we have come as a Company in achieving our ambitions as an employer. I am enormously proud of our team of dedicated, passionate people who enable Vets Now to provide the best possible care for our patients and clients across the UK."
Rachel Smithson from Novartis said; "The awards are a wonderful endorsement of the qualities of our winners, both as employers and as people. In our experience, they're qualities that are as important to pet owners as they are to potential employees."
