Why is there a shortage of Vets? With Daniella Dos Santos

In this special episode, I talked to Daniella Dos Santos, one of the most well-known people in the British veterinary industry, about why there's a vet shortage.

We discuss the why. But we also provide evidence for those who choose not to believe it. We talk about the causes that have led us to today's situation.

In our talk, we explore Brexit, the pandemic, reasons for vets to stay or leave the profession and gender discrimination in the workplace.
