Nik Wood host for Awards
That is the home of the latest winner to be named by the World Veterinary Association (WVA) for their prestigious 2024 Global Veterinary Awards, sponsored by our client, Ceva Animal Health. Good Call Media Co-owner, Nik Wood, will host the official ceremony to hand over the Awards at the WVA’s annual congress in Cape Town, South Africa in April this year.
Dr. Renwick was nominated by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) for his active role in the field of antimicrobial stewardship, as well as other issues of national importance, including One Health and the role of the Canadian Veterinary Profession in addressing the challenges of Climate Change.
Dr. Renwick spearheaded the development of the Stewardship of Antimicrobials by Veterinarians Initiative (SAVI) as well as a mobile app called Firstline. These tools help veterinarians working with many species to select the most appropriate antibiotic, if indicated, as well as dosage and withdrawal times.
