VHA: very high achievers

Winners from the
2007 VHA of the Year

Hill's Pet Nutrition is once again seeking high achievers who have made the most of their VHA (Veterinary Healthcare Adviser) qualification. Colleagues in practice are being asked to nominate VHAs who qualified in 2007 for VHA of the Year. VHAs can also nominate themselves, or be nominated by their Hill's territory manager.

Nominees are asked to prepare a submission, which can include written evidence, photographs and testimonials from clients or colleagues to demonstrate how the VHA has made a difference to their practice.

The winner of VHA of the Year will receive an award and £1,000 of holiday vouchers at a special gala dinner held during BVNA Congress, to which all VHAs are invited. On the evening, prizes for the top exam marks from 2007 and runner up for VHA of the Year will also be awarded.

Last year's winner was Jane Bartlett of the Orwell Veterinary Group, who developed new tools to support her nurse clinics, including a client lifestyle questionnaire that helped her formulate tailored advice for the client allowed them to better manage the needs of their overweight pets.

Submissions for VHA of the Year need to be received by the end of August 2008 and should be sent to Libby Sheridan at Hill's Pet Nutrition, Building 5, Croxley Green Business Park, Hatters Lane, Watford, WD18 8YL.

Contact Hill's on 0800 282438 for more information.
