Dr. Jane Ladlow Honored with the FECAVA Didier-Noël Carlotti Award 2023

The Federation of European Companion Animal Veterinary Associations (FECAVA) proudly announces that Dr. Jane Ladlow, MA VetMB CertVR CertSAS DipECVS MRCVS, has been selected as the recipient of the Didier-Noël Carlotti Award for the year 2023. The award named in honor of Didier-Noeëll Carlotti recognizes outstanding individuals who have made remarkable contributions to the field of veterinary medicine. Dr. Ladlow was nominated by the British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) for her groundbreaking work on brachycephalic dog health and tireless efforts to raise awareness.

Dr. Jane Ladlow, a Director of clinical Research at the University of Cambridge, is renowned for her expertise in veterinary surgery. Her research focused on brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) has led to groundbreaking advancements in the objective assessment of airway function and the development of effective surgical strategies to improve the health and well-being of these unique canine companions.

One of Dr. Ladlow’s most notable contributions is her pioneering work on respiratory function scoring for brachycephalic dogs, which she began in 2019. This groundbreaking initiative has culminated in establishing a national scheme in the UK, providing independent, veterinary-led respiratory function scoring. The data gathered through this scheme offers invaluable insights into the extent and severity of respiratory issues in brachycephalic dogs, empowering veterinarians and breeders to take proactive measures to enhance the overall health of these beloved pets.

Dr. Ladlow’s dedication and research efforts have had a profound impact in the UK and globally, as she continues to champion the cause of brachycephalic dog health through her work. Her publications listed below testify to her expertise and passion for improving veterinary science and elevating the standard of care for companion animals.

The Didier-Noël Carlotti Award is a well-deserved recognition of Dr. Jane Ladlow’s exceptional contributions to the veterinary field. Her unwavering commitment to the well-being of brachycephalic dogs and her advocacy for responsible breeding practices have set a remarkable example for fellow veterinarians and pet owners worldwide.

Join FECAVA and BSAVA in celebrating Dr. Jane Ladlow’s remarkable achievements and congratulating her on this prestigious award at the welcome ceremony at the joint WSAVA/FECAVA Congress in Lisbon.
