Trainee veterinary nurse Megan Hill, from Paragon Veterinary Referrals in Yorkshire, has been named ‘Apprentice of the Year' by Lantra.

Megan beat more than 100 nominees to win the Land-based and Environment Learner (LBEL) prize and achieve an overall distinction in her qualification towards becoming a registered veterinary nurse.

Megan joined the referral hospital in 2021 as a patient care assistant before deciding to train as a veterinary nurse.

She now aspires to complete the International Society of Feline Medicine Diploma and to become a clinical coach and help future student vet nurses through their qualifications.

Megan said: “I felt honoured to be nominated for the award so to win and be recognised by the wider veterinary profession is amazing."
