Having set up her own equine vet practice in 2020, Perthshire's Camilla Church may win the race for a national BVA accolade by a nose.
Early career vet Camilla Church is one of three finalists - alongside Rebecca Hampson and Henry Lamb - in the running for the British Veterinary Association’s Young Vet of the Year Award 2023.
Equine vet Camilla was nominated for her “dedication to promoting the veterinary profession, equine welfare and for her work setting up the ambulatory equine practice, Perth Equine Vets”. Camilla organises frequent events, most recently a “get into vet school” day for upcoming students, which more than 40 potential senior school pupils attended, alongside educational demos for owners to increase their knowledge.
“Congratulations to everyone, and I look forward to meeting the other two finalists at the BVA Gala Dinner. On behalf of the judges, BVA president Anna Judson said: “BVA’s Young Vet of the Year showcases exceptional vets from across the UK making an invaluable contribution to the profession.
