30 Under Thirty celebrates young vet sector talent
This is the third year of 30 Under Thirty.
Induction ceremony held at London Vet Show.

Thirty young professionals from the veterinary sector have been celebrated at the 30 Under Thirty class of 2024 induction ceremony during London Vet Show.

The event, which took on 14 November, honoured a mix of young veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses, students, and professionals in non-clinical roles in the sector.

The 30 form the third cohort of the scheme, which was founded by the London Vet Show and Pioneer Veterinary Products in 2022 to showcase young talent and provide future leaders in the sector with networking opportunities.

Anyone who works in the veterinary industry is eligible. Individuals can be nominated by colleagues, peers or friends, or nominate themselves.

The winners were chosen by a judging panel which this year included Peter Wright from The Yorkshire Vet television programme, veterinary nurse and blogger Louise Northway (also known as ‘Lou the Vet Nurse’), and Jill Maddison, professor of general practice at the RVC.

Among those who made it into this year’s 30 Under Thirty were Emmanuel Oloyede, Robyn Lowe, and Jack Conway.

Dr Oloyede, who recently graduated as a veterinary surgeon, is a former president of Animal Aspirations, an initiative which aims to champion diversity within animal-related careers, and won the Student Ambassador of the Year award at the 2020 Aimhigher Practioner Awards.

A small animal registered advanced veterinary nurse, Ms Lowe is the first RVN to sit on Vetlife’s Board of Trustees. She has also volunteered for Canine Arthritis Management, is director of Veterinary Voices UK, and campaigns on animal welfare and mental health issues.

Dr Conway has served as president of the Association of Veterinary Students and played a major role in a review by the organisation into the harassment of students on EMS placements.

Dr Conway said: “The 30 Under Thirty award recognises the work I have done over the last seven years, supporting and championing students as part of the Association of Veterinary Students and RVC Students’ Union.

“It shows the advancement of visibility for students within the veterinary sector and the progression of equity, safety, and transparency of extra-mural studies. I hope this award furthers the conversation about the future of the future members of the veterinary sphere.”
