Welcome to the Vets in Diversity Podcast series from the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies. Our student-led Animal Aspirations Edinburgh group has teamed up with the Easter Bush Equality, Diversity and Inclusion group to produce this podcast series of Vets in Diversity. Throughout this series, we talk to students, university staff and leaders within the veterinary profession about race equality, diversity and inclusion within education and the profession. This series features 10 episodes, which look to unfold some of the challenges and intersectionality faced by BAME people entering a profession where 97% of vets registered in the UK consider themselves from white ethnic backgrounds. Episodes range from the challenges that BAME people face in accessing higher education at high tariff universities to BAME mental health and support; from decolonising the curriculum to dealing with COVID, racism and BLM. Equality, diversity and inclusion is a core part of the strategic framework at the University
