Following the sell-out inaugural conference in 2016, the FORWARD Symposium is back on Sunday 5th February 2017 with a new line-up of speakers, fresh topics and a larger venue of Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey.
This unique one-day event will guide you on the best techniques to manage, treat and prevent injuries in agility, working and recreational dogs. The 2017 speaker line-up includes:
- Dr Chris Zink, Consultant on canine sports medicine
- Professor Noel Fitzpatrick, Managing Director at Fitzpatrick Referrals
- PC Ray Haggett, Dog trainer and instructor at the Metropolitan Police
- Professor Nick Bacon, Clinical Director of Oncology & Soft Tissue at Fitzpatrick Referrals
- Nicola Way, Founder of Vancouver Animal Massage
- Fiona Doubleday, Rehabilitation Team Leader at Fitzpatrick Referrals
The speakers will share their world-class knowledge and advice on achieving and maintaining your dog’s peak fitness, and most importantly the best options for treatment and rehabilitation to bring your dog back to top condition. Q&A sessions throughout the conference will provide you with the opportunity to ask the speakers questions you have always wanted answered. A full conference programme will be released very soon.
Professor Noel Fitzpatrick, Managing Director of Fitzpatrick Referrals and Founder of the FORWARD Symposium, said: “I am delighted to be holding the 2nd FORWARD Symposium that will advise handlers and veterinary rehabilitation professionals the best techniques in treating and preventing injuries. Understanding how to bring your agility, working or even recreational dog back to top condition after an injury is so important, and this unique event promises to do just that with the world-class expertise we have on our 2017 line-up of speakers. This year, we have gone bigger and better covering a wider scope of knowledge in order to tell you everything you need to know about achieving and maintaining your dog’s peak fitness. It promises to be a truly great conference. I look forward to seeing you there!”
