Winners of the 2008 Petplan Veterinary Awards, which recognise and applaud staff and practices for their outstanding excellence and service, will feature on Natasha Kaplinsky’s Channel Five news slot from tonight at 5:00pm, and then again at 7:00pm.

Tonight's news will cover the story of the Veterinary Practice of the Year: Orwell Veterinary Group, and there'll be more coverage on Tuesday and Wednesday as follows:

Tuesday 13th May
5pm & 7pm – Vet of the Year – Brian Faulkner of the Melton Veterinary Surgery

Wednesday 14th May
5pm & 7pm – Vet Nurse of the Year – Louisa Baker of the Priors Leaze Veterinary Centre.

Should be great publicity for the profession, and it is difficult to achieve this sort of thing, so hats off to Petplan.
