Veterinary Voices Uk

We share posts, articles and information on campaigns and issues that the members of Veterinary Voices UK (who are all vets and vet nurses) believe would be of interest to animal owners. Through our public Facebook page and website we aim to- Share our members’ various articles, blogs and fundraising activities with the public-Counter misinformation arising on social media about the veterinary profession and veterinary medicine- Inform and engage with the public via social media by providing a balanced view on medical and veterinary issues. We envisage that promoting a better understanding of the veterinary decision making process will foster greater trust and confidence in the profession- Raise public awareness of campaigns run by veterinary organisations to improve animal and human welfare, and to present evidence of support from the profession for these campaigns. Through our closed Facebook discussion group we aim to- Provide a safe place for vets, nurses and students to share issues and support each other with humour and solidarity. This includes providing the facility to post anonymously for advice when necessary- Provide a forum for vets, nurses and students to discuss topical and ethical issues relating to our profession- Provide vets, nurses and students a platform from which they can directly engage with and influence veterinary political organisations by providing a ‘grassroots' perspective.
