We are delighted to today launch the report we commissioned on 'The Economic Contribution of the Veterinary Sector to the UK'. Thank you @BiggarEconomics for all your hard work. Please head to our website for further details. #VetSector #EconomicValue vprf.co.uk/the-veterinary…

We raised our voices against ear cropping, and the government listened! The Imports Bill is about to become law. 🎊 We celebrated this milestone with special guests Olivia Attwood, Dr Danny Chambers MP, Dr Neil Hudson MP and The Lord Trees. Hear why this bill is so important 👇
