Revitalise, Revive and Refresh your confidence and skills in small animal practice on this highly practical hands-on course. Do you feel the need to update your knowledge on conditions that crop up during a typical day in practice? Are you returning to small animal practice after a career break? Are you in practice at the moment and feel that you need a comprehensive update in key areas? Do you want to change disciplines, perhaps from equine to small animal practice?
Then this 3 day interactive, hands-on course is just what you are looking for! You’ve taken a blood sample, but what do the results mean? You have taken a chest film, what is that lung pattern suggesting? Sedation is required in a blocked cat, what is the safest, most effective option? Which wound dressing should you use, there are so many? Our approachable and friendly speakers will guide you in a variety of essential subject areas.
They will provide you with clear, reassuring and practical guidance, equipping you with the confidence and skills to cope with the complexity and diversity of small animal practice in the UK today.
