35 Nuffield Scholarship Award - Animal Health Officer PDF 69 KB
Minutes:
The Committee was asked to note a report which detailed the work of what was formerly Worcestershire County Council’s Animal Health Team. The team played a key role in preventing notifiable animal diseases such as foot and mouth from having the devastating impact they could have on Worcestershire’s rural economy.
Mr. S. Wilkes, Business Manager, Worcestershire Regulatory Services introduced the report and in doing so highlighted the Nuffield Scholarship award which recognised the level of excellence achieved by this team and its individual staff members, particularly Joanne Nash.
The award was one of only 20 awarded in the United Kingdom (UK) and required Joanne to apply her skills and professional knowledge outside of the UK to a range of animal health issues.
The Chairman requested that officers pass on the Committee’s congratulations to Joanne on her success and that Members looked forward to hearing the results of her study meetings and visits held in the UK and abroad.
RESOLVED that the report be noted.
