30 Under Thirty: Meet the Next Generation of Veterinary Leaders
)
The Vet Show 30 Under Thirty awards spotlight emerging veterinary talent making a difference across the profession. From caring for patients and advancing research to leading teams, building businesses, supporting education and championing animal welfare, together they show that there is no single route to shaping the future of veterinary medicine.
Returning to the London Vet Show for a fifth year, we’re recognising thirty exceptional young people whose work is already making an impact and whose ideas will help shape what comes next.
Delivered in partnership with Pioneer Veterinary Products, 30 Under Thirty welcomes nominations from across the veterinary community, from vets and vet nurses to academics, practice managers, industry professionals, animal welfare specialists and educators.
