Dalrymple-Champneys Cup and Medal

In this section you can find out about the British Veterinary Association (BVA) Dalrymple-Champneys Cup and Medal

The Dalrymple-Champneys Cup and Medal is presented to a member of the BVA to recognise work of outstanding merit.

As a mark of the esteem in which he held the veterinary profession, Sir Weldon Dalrymple-Champneys presented a Cup to the BVA in 1934.

The object of this gift was to mark and recognise work of outstanding merit which it is considered will encourage the advancement of veterinary science, relating to any branch of veterinary science.

The award is also open to those who have done work which has not been published or have undertaken other activities which are considered to have encouraged the advancement - and dissemination of knowledge - of veterinary science and medicine.
