Does £20 billion in Gross Value Added sound like a big number to you? And £10 billion in wellbeing benefits? This is what a recent report by @BiggarEconomics has valued the Veterinary Industry. Read it here: vprf.co.uk/the-veterinary-in…
#VetIndustry #EconomicImpact
We are delighted to today launch the report we commissioned on 'The Economic Contribution of the Veterinary Sector to the UK'. Thank you @BiggarEconomics for all your hard work. Please head to our website for further details.

We need vets for animal health & welfare, biosecurity, food security & public health. We don't train enough vets in the UK. The proposal to close Cambridge Vet School is catastrophic. Cambridge University must act & #SaveCambridgeVetSchool.

Just 3 weeks after @Cambridge_Uni Vice Chancellor publicly stated that courses do not need to close because of financial reasons, @CamVetSchool was delivered this bombshell, new in @timeshighered : timeshighereducation.com/new…

Friday marked the Third (and final) Reading of the Puppy Smuggling Bill, which will now become law. A big step forward for animal welfare in this country and a testament to the hard work of all those involved.

We raised our voices against ear cropping, and the government listened! The Imports Bill is about to become law. 🎊
We celebrated this milestone with special guests Olivia Attwood, Dr Danny Chambers MP, Dr Neil Hudson MP and The Lord Trees.
Hear why this bill is so important 👇
