The British Veterinary Association has announced that Alison Brough, Kirsty French and Hannah Hunt have been shortlisted for Young Vet of the Year 2022. 

Alison (pictured right) was nominated for making a significant difference to the lives of aquatic animals, for creating strong, positive relationships with clients, and for always making a difference through her work as a fish vet.

Kirsty has been nominated for excelling at her clinical work as a small animal vet, co-leading her practice’s environmental strategy and becoming a member of the Vets4Pets sustainability strategy steering group, on which she represents all practice colleagues across the group. 

Hannah was nominated for her impressive surgical and clinical skills, enthusiasm and positive attitude.  

BVA President Malcolm Morley said: “With over 100 nominations for this year’s Young Vet of the Year award, it was a tough job to select just three vets for our shortlist.

“These inspiring and dedicated finalists are a credit to the veterinary profession, and we know they have shining careers ahead of them. Congratulations to them all, this is a fantastic achievement, and they should be very proud.”

The winner of the award will receive a prize package which includes £1,000 prize money, a year of free BVA membership, a mentoring/engagement opportunity with Zoetis and career development opportunities.

The winner will be announced  at the BVA’s Gala Dinner at London Vet Show on Thursday 17th November at Excel London.
