EA Group’s Dennis Scott recognised with NZVA Antimicrobial Stewardship Award

Dennis Scott’s longstanding contribution to responsible antimicrobial use has been recognised with the NZVA Antimicrobial Stewardship Award.

Dennis began his veterinary career in rural practice before moving into equine practice, specialising in harness racing. He later transitioned into veterinary pharmaceutical stewardship, combining his clinical experience with a growing focus on antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Since 2008, Dennis has played an active role in advancing antimicrobial stewardship within the veterinary profession. He chaired the NZVA Antimicrobial Working Group and remains a member of the NZVA Antimicrobial Resistance Committee, contributing to practical prescribing guidelines designed to help veterinarians use antimicrobials responsibly.

His contribution also extends internationally. Through his involvement with the World Veterinary Association Pharmaceutical Stewardship Member Advisory Group, Dennis helped contribute to global recommendations on responsible antimicrobial use.

Now a member of the team at Ethical Agents, Dennis continues to support veterinary pharmaceutical education and responsible medicine use.

The award recognises a career dedicated to helping ensure veterinarians can access and prescribe antibiotics when needed, while protecting their effectiveness for the future.
