It might seem a little early but it’s time to start preparing for summer! Last summer was a washout but let’s hope this summer will be better.

This course is aimed at general practitioners who would like the latest information on common canine and feline diseases seen in the summer season. The one day lecture and case-based course will cover emergency and critical care, medical, surgical and dermatological topics – a true multi-disciplinary approach of relevance to all general practitioners.
