Vet Voices On Air episode for Endometriosis Awareness Month – March 2026

The 2021 RCVS report shows that the UK veterinary profession is overwhelmingly female:

• 57% of all registered veterinary surgeons are female

• 96.8% of veterinary nurses are female

• Nearly 80% of veterinary degree students are female

Now put that next to the Endometriosis UK statistic that 1 in 10 females are affected by endometriosis.

That means in every practice, in every lecture theatre, in every on-call rota… someone is likely living with a chronic, often invisible disease – whether they feel safe enough to say it out loud or not.
