In light of recent incidents of racism seen in the UK I want to reaffirm BritishVets stance against all forms of discrimination. We’re committed to ensuring that the whole vet sector is inclusive and supportive of all professionals, regardless of race. Racism has no place 🙌🏻🙌🏽🙌🏿

Great to see The Times and The Sunday Times highlighting BritishVets concerns over potential unintended consequences of the CMA's investigation of the veterinary industry. While we support efforts to improve markets and competition, veterinary professionals recognise we can't ignore animal welfare.

Discrimination or racism aren't always overt. If you’ve experienced racial microaggressions or know someone who has, take a look at our #TimeForChange resources and read this 2021 blog by Navaratnam Partheeban🐄🐂🐑 on how to support BAME colleagues. bva.co.uk/news-and-blog/… 1/2
