Episode 2 - Emma Onyejekwe - The Wildlife Vet Nurse

This edition of AWC focusses on wildlife with Veterinary Nurse Emma Onyejekwe. Many of you will know Emma as The Wildlife Vet Nurse and I’m sure that after listening to this discussion you will want to follow in her footsteps working with some amazing animals around the world, and here at home. In 2023, Emma was awarded a 30 under Thirty Award at the London Vet Show for her work promoting wildlife care.  In this episode we cover a diverse range of topics, including how to raise awareness about the veterinary nursing role, the important role that veterinary nurses play in education (there’s a theme emerging here), ethical dilemmas of working with wildlife, what opportunities can be created with a veterinary nursing qualification and how to break into wildlife veterinary nursing. Emma’s enthusiasm for caring for wildlife is clear throughout. I really enjoyed having the chance to talk to Emma, and I’m sure you'll enjoy listening.   Useful sites and further information on the topics discussed: The Wildlife Vet Nurse on Instagram / Website / and Facebook Improving the welfare of both wildlife and domestic cats - British Veterinary Nursing AssociationBritish Veterinary Nursing Association (bvna.org.uk) Cats and their Owners - SongBird Survival Research (songbird-survival.org.uk) BWRC | Ethics | British Wildlife Rehabilitation Council
