A VETERINARY nursing student has been recognised for her dedication to her studies with the presentation of the World of James Herriot Award.
Hayley Stephenson of Askham Bryan College completed a Foundation Degree in Veterinary Nursing and the James Herriot Award was given in recognition of her gaining the Special Award of Best Practical Veterinary Nursing Student.
Managing director, Ian Ashton, said: “I’m so pleased to have been able to present this award to Hayley as it recognises her efforts and commitment to the care of animals which is why James Herriot joined the veterinary profession.
“The Award is one step in her career progress and hopefully this will support Hayley in her future work and like the many others who have been inspired by the James Herriot books, TV series and films.”
The award was presented at Askham Bryan College on behalf of the James Herriot Legacy Fund, based in Thirsk.
