EXCELLENT CPD combined with fantastic skiing opportunities is on the agenda at the ever-popular Snowscene, which takes place from 13th – 20th March next year.

Places are filling up fast for this key event in the CPD calendar, which has been held by the Society of Practising Veterinary Surgeons (SPVS) and Fort Dodge for over twenty years.

The event is returning to the pleasant Hotel De St Martin in the village of St Martin de Belleville in the French Haut Savoie. Previous delegates will know the many splendid runs down to the village as well as the tougher skiing offered by the Trois Vallees ski area

This year’s CPD is provided by Liz Leece, head of the anaesthesia team at the Animal Health Trust, who will present on advances in treating trauma patients as well as on analgesia and pain management. Liz has published several research papers and contributed to books and is currently an examiner for both the RCVS certificate in Veterinary Anaesthesia and the European Diploma in Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia.

The non-clinical CPD comes courtesy of Caroline Johnson who will give advice to help you lead and motivate your staff, communicate more effectively and effect positive change. There will also be a useful presentation on the Fort Dodge Indices.

Organiser and SPVS President Iain Richards said: “I look forward to welcoming new delegates as well as old stagers on one the highpoints of the SPVS year. I anticipate the CPD to be as challenging and exciting as the skiing!”

As a slight departure from usual, transport can be organised on Eurostar. This has the big advantage of allowing almost two additional days skiing for the holiday and creates a great party atmosphere at the start of the week.

Places are limited to 60 and Snowscene is always popular so try to book soon. Email office@spvs.org.uk or call 01926 410 454 for more information and to book.
