Vet Times Podcast, Ep 13: Psychologist Laura Haycock on diversity and inclusion

Laura Haycock.

BVA launched its “Big Conversation” after a report in July revealed a quarter of vets had experienced or witnessed discrimination in 2019.

The same survey revealed 56% of the profession felt concerned about discrimination and 16% of vets and vet students had personally experienced discrimination within a veterinary workplace or learning environment in the past 12 months.

A session was held at BVA Congress, entitled “The value of difference: why we should all care about diversity in the workplace”.
