A dedicated farm animal vet who supported her local practice at a time of need and who has shown a passion for her work around lameness and mobility in cattle has been awarded our Young Vet of the Year Award 2019.

One of the three finalists for the new聽娛樂城遊戲 Young Vet of the Year Award 2019, supported by Zoetis, Emily Craven secured top spot and was presented with her award at the 娛樂城遊戲 Gala dinner last night, after a busy first day at the .

Emily, nominated for her passion for animal welfare and whose enthusiasm for farm practice was described as 鈥榠nfectious鈥� by her nominator, went above and beyond her call of duty as she balanced a full-time role whilst helping a local veterinary practice.

At a time of real need, a neighbouring practice reached out for help, and Emily, 30, responded. Emily offered more than an extra pair of hands, showing a dedication to the practice, the team and their work through a difficult period. She advised on TB testing, helped with routine calls and inspired the whole team. As Emily juggled two jobs over the five-month period, her nominator said that she 鈥榬aised the team鈥檚 spirits to no end at a time when they were really up against it鈥�, whilst showing 鈥榚nthusiasm, dedication, tenacity and integrity鈥�.

Lameness is recognised as one of the key welfare issues in dairy cows and Emily鈥檚 commitment to the area can be seen through her work at , where she led on this subject on the clinical board. Emily was also involved in teaching Westpoint interns to ensure that this message is carried across to new farm vets entering the profession. She was even described as having given up on holidays to assist on Westpoint training courses across the UK. Emily is also cited as co-author in 鈥淗oof Blocks tried and tested report 2019鈥�, published by Kingshay Independent Dairy Specialists.

The award, which is in its first year, aims to recognise recent graduates who have gone above and beyond their role and who are making a difference within their community or the veterinary profession generally. As the winner, Emily will receive a prize of 拢1000 and a career-mentoring opportunity with .
