Gathering in the Vet Times podcast booth during London Vet Show 2019, VBJ editor James Westgate catches up with Ebony Escalona – founder of Vets: Stay, Go, Diversify – and popular veterinary journalist and broadcaster “Pete the Vet”.

She is also founder of Vets: Stay, Go, Diversify (V:GSD), a global online support platform providing a free, independent and safe exchange of information between veterinary professionals, with the mission to support peer-to-peer career inspiration.
