The Scholarship was set up to continue the legacy of Louise O’Dwyer who passed away in 2018.
Louise worked tirelessly in ECC, spoke at several events to help other veterinary professionals around the globe and she worked as a speaker for Improve Veterinary Education to educate other vet nurses.
This year, the scholarship received over 30 entries across the UK.
Patricia Rigio RVN said: “I was born and raised in Venezuela where I graduated as a marine biologist in 2012.
"I moved to the UK in 2014 because I wanted to improve my English, little did I know I would end up discovering veterinary nursing as a career and falling in love with it.
"I have been working mainly in general practice since I started my training in 2018 but after qualifying, I decided to support Vets Now in my spare time to gain more experience, this has fuelled my passion and interest in emergency and critical care.
"I feel truly honoured and lucky as this programme is an amazing opportunity for me to further my skills in ECC and to apply everything that I can learn through the programme in practice, to the benefit of my patients and to help my colleagues."
