Lantra's Industry Partnership Manager, Lisa Jarvis, was recognised with two awards for her outstanding contribution to the veterinary nursing industry at the 37th British Veterinary Nursing Associations Annual Congress last weekend.

As well as being given honorary membership to the BVNA in recognition for her hard work and contribution to the profession, Lisa also picked up the College of Animal Welfare award for continuing professional development for her outstanding service to the veterinary nursing profession over the past year.

Lisa said: "It's great to be awarded at Congress because of the support I have had for my role at Lantra from BVNA delegates and Council.

"Having been a veterinary nurse these awards mean a lot and show that the work I'm doing is of benefit to the industry. I will continue to ensure their skills issues are recognised and supported."

Also exhibiting at Congress Lantra spoke with hundreds of veterinary nurses about the impact the economic climate his having on veterinary practices.
