How are the Veterinary Awards judged?

How the finalists and winners are selected

From the thousands of nominations the judges have a very difficult task to narrow down the field of nominations to just three finalists in each category. The finalists are all invited to attend the Veterinary Awards ceremony, where the winners are announced.

The judges specifically look for clear examples of:

• Exceptional and consistent levels of care
• Outstanding expertise and clinical care
• Those who have gone above and beyond the normal call of duty
• Outstanding professionalism
• Great interpersonal skills with both colleagues and pet owners

Meet the judges

The quality of the Veterinary Awards nominations is always extremely high and we are sure this year will be no exception. The role of selecting the finalists and winners is an extremely tough job and the judging panel put their own veterinary industry knowledge and experience to the test as they discuss and agree who the finalists and winners in each category should be. Petplan has no involvement in the judging process.
