"At the heart of vet practice is...the nuanced understanding of each patient's unique circumstances. Some of the CMA’s suggested remedies risk undermining this fundamental principle."

I've written this blog about @BritishVets extensive work on the @CMAgovUK investigation. We're addressing our members' concerns and recognising that some of the CMA's proposed remedies may negatively impact client-vet relationships and animal welfare. https://t.co/Q472dbBEj4
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 @navaratnampart1 on how to support BAME colleagues.

Great to see @thetimes 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.
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 🙌🏻🙌🏽🙌🏿
@BritishVets working group stresses the need for RCVS governance reforms to support the future of our profession alongside expected reforms of the Vet Surgeons Act inc regulation of allied professionals. These reforms must be a cohesive package of measures https://t.co/Ouhuj8Y6VL
