Vet Voices On Air

Vet Voices On Air episode for Endometriosis Awareness Month – March 2026
The 2021 RCVS report shows that the UK veterinary profession is overwhelmingly female:
57% of all registered veterinary surgeons are female

96.8% of veterinary nurses are female

Nearly 80% of veterinary degree students are female

Now put that next to the Endometriosis UK statistic that 1 in 10 females are affected by endometriosis.
That means in every practice, in every lecture theatre, in every on-call rota… someone is likely living with a chronic, often invisible disease – whether they feel safe enough to say it out loud or not.

The episode challenges the profession to rethink how it communicates, so that in a world of instant information, veterinary professionals remain the trusted guide – not the last resort after a Google spiral.

From IOHC to HIF: understanding elbow fissures, fracture risk, and evidence-based treatment decisions in at-risk dogs.

In this Vet Voices on Air episode, Robyn Lowe hosts a powerhouse panel to unpack the brand new Animal Welfare (Import of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets) Act 2025 – the law many are calling the Puppy Smuggling Act, but which reaches far beyond puppies alone.
Featuring:
Dr Danny Chambers – Vet & MP, who brought the Bill through Parliament
Dr Sean McCormack – Vet, conservationist & presenter (ear cropping and welfare campaigner)
Dr Alison Skipper – Vet & Veterinary and Research Advisor, Royal Kennel Club
Cat the Vet – Vet, educator, welfare advocate & media commentator

Ever wondered what actually happens when a horse vet swaps night shifts and colic calls for Parliament and policy.
In this episode of Vet Voices On Air, Robyn speaks to her friend Danny Chambers – founder of Veterinary Voices UK, equine vet and now MP (since July 2024) – about life on the green benches and what it really means to have “a vet in the room” in Westminster.
