Manchester Nurse Lisa Coulborn RVN Wins Royal Canin Bursary

Bursary winner Lisa Coulborn RVN A veterinary nurse from Manchester’s PetMedics has won this year’s Royal Canin bursary, run in conjunction with the BVNA. 33-year-old Lisa Coulborn RVN won the £500 prize, beating off competition from more than two dozen other VNs, to enable her to begin the VPMA’s Veterinary Practice Administration Certificate. Lisa explained: “After having worked as a veterinary nurse for the past 15 years, I have recently developed a passion for good management, which is only growing stronger as I see how important it is to practice staff and clients. I’m currently on maternity leave and keen to make a start on the VPMA course and so Royal Canin’s generous bursary will help me to realise this goal. Needless to say, I’m delighted!” Royal Canin’s Veterinary Marketing Manager, Lindsay Calcraft, explained: “Each year, we partner the BVNA to offer an annual bursary aimed at helping nurses to further their education. We wish Lisa well in her impending studies and can confirm that we will be continuing the bursary scheme in 2013. Next year’s bursary will be calling for entries with a specific focus on nutrition.” For more information, visit www.royalcanin.co.uk or contact your Veterinary Business Manager.
