What motivates vets to work in the media? Pete the Vet discusses the reasons why he enjoys spending time on the radio, tv, in print and on social media instead of staying in the consulting room and operating theatre.

Vet on the Radio: why do some vets enjoy working in the media?

I am a veterinary surgeon with a passion for communicating my love of my work through writing, radio,  television and the internet. My mission is to use the media to act as an advocate on behalf of animals.
I am a partner in a busy 4 vet practice in Bray, Co Wicklow, Ireland, but I spend 50% of my working week on media work. 
I've been broadcasting a weekly "vet spot" on my local radio station, East Coast FM, for the past fifteen years, and I'm delighted, through Soundcloud, to now make this weekly animal-related discussion available globally as a podcast.
