‘Veterinary Vision’ essay competition An all-expenses-paid trip to the London Vet Show is the prize being offered in a ‘Veterinary Vision’ essay competition being run by Vet Futures. Vet Futures is a joint project between the BVA and RCVS to identify some of the challenges facing the veterinary profession with a view to developing an appropriate long-term strategy. The essay competition is open to anyone with a veterinary interest and entrants are being asked to write an essay in no more than 1000 words outlining ‘An idea that will transform the veterinary/ veterinary nursing profession by 2030’. The RCVS and BVA say that the approach is entirely up to the author, but suggest that the topic might look at a new business model, a new approach to education, a technological innovation or perhaps a way that the working lives of those in the practice team could be improved. The entries will be judged by the Vet Futures Project Board, 6 | Veterinary Record | July 4, 2015

which includes the presidents and chief executives of both the BVA and RCVS. Entries will be anonymised and scored on a range of criteria, including originality, potential impact for the future, and realistic prospects of change. The winning entry will be included in a time capsule to be opened by the veterinary profession in 2030. Full details of the competition, including how to submit entries, is available at www.vetfutures.org.uk/essaycomp. The closing date for entries is midnight on August 31, 2015, and the winner will be notified on September 7.
