WEAR REFERRALS
It was fantastic to visit Wear Referrals and meet the team that’s providing outstanding quality of care for pets in Sedgefield, County Durham and, indeed, across the UK.
Wear is soon to be the subject of a BBC TV programme, so it was good to see what they do and I’m looking forward to seeing their hard work portrayed on our screens soon.
The UK is a nation of animal lovers. Our pets are much more just animals – they are part of the family. Just like our family members, when our pets are ill we want the best possible medical care for them.
That’s why our veterinary professionals are hugely important but they are facing recruitment challenges across the sector.
We discussed these challenges during my visit to Wear and I will be raising this issue with Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) ministers.
