Gaps Left By A Career Break Or Veterinary School? Want To Change Practice Type?

Focused around common questions posed by recent graduates the British Veterinary Association (BVA) has teamed up with the Royal Veterinary College’s CPD unit again to put on a programme of clinical courses to fill those gaps. The courses will cover some of the key concerns new graduates face and help answer common problems encountered in general practice including

• Farm animal practice (19 April) – common situations and clinical presentations seen in farm animal practice presented in a mixture of lectures and case discussions
• Emergency care (17 May) – how to keep the patient alive and yourself calm around common emergency cases
• Internal medicine (14 June) - common issues in small animal practice that are not always covered neatly in textbooks or lecture notes
• Dermatology (19 July) – this day is structure as a series of Q&A sessions, discussion forums and case analysis sessions
• Ophthalmology (13 Sept) – taking the fear out of the ophthalmology exam, understanding corneal ulcers and when to refer and when to treat to save sight

The full price per day is £299 (excl VAT), BVA members get a 45% discount and a further 10% loyalty discount is available for those with five continuous years of BVA membership (£149 excl VAT). Further information including how to book is available at http://www.bva.co.uk/events/1733.aspx and the full BVA CPD offering is at www.bva.co.uk/events.
