BVNA Goes Bronze
The British Veterinary Nursing Association is very pleased to announce that it has achieved Bronze level status under the enhanced Investors in People (IIP) scheme which was launched in May 2009. Although the organisation has held the standard Investors in People (IIP) Award since April 2001 the attainment of the Bronze award is a tribute to the hard work of the office staff as well as the members of Council.
The revised IIP award was introduced to promote and recognise a higher level of achievement than the original scheme. In order to qualify for the new accreditation, companies must undergo re-assessment of their existing IIP standard against a range of additional criteria.
Angela Mariconda, BVNA Association Manager commented, "This was our first attempt at accreditation under the more stringent IIP certification and I'm delighted that we passed with flying colours. This is a real testament to our people and to the processes that we have in place to ensure that BVNA continues working together on their pledge of representing the veterinary nursing profession."
Vice President Sue Badger supported this and added that the solid foundations on which the BVNA is based are largely due to the continued hard work of the staff who are always prepared to ‘go the extra mile' to ensure that the organisation runs smoothly.
