The AZEVN provides a sense of community among like-minded professionals, all dedicated to the care of exotic and wild animals, is truly inspiring. Attending the AZEVN conference is always a standout experience — not only were the lectures and practical workshops informative and relevant, but the atmosphere is always welcoming, supportive, and energising. I came away with new knowledge, practical skills I could apply immediately in my role, and a renewed passion for the unique challenges of zoo and exotic animal nursing. Being part of AZEVN has elevated my confidence and expanded my professional network. I can’t recommend it enough to anyone working in this field or who wants to advance their career further in wildlife, zoo and exotic nursing.
I had the best time at the 2025 AZEVN conference at West Midlands Safari Park. I felt so inspired by the amazing speakers, who majority are veterinary nurses, sharing their knowledge and experiences. It makes me excited as an RVN interested in zoo and wildlife to see just what we are capable of!
