During LVS, visitors to Dechra’s stand (stand P30) will be able to learn more about the company’s extensive otitis externa range which includes three first-line treatments consistent with the BSAVA/SAMSoc PROTECT ME guidelines which encourage a move away from using antimicrobials for all first-line cases, and use of appropriate antimicrobials, where these are required. There will be several interactive elements on the stand including a ‘Loud and clear, we’re all ears’ augmented reality (AR) screen enabling an assortment of ears to appear on the heads of delegates on displays with the opportunity to download the image via a QR code. An interactive memory game will also take place on the stand. Delegates are guaranteed a prize by playing the game and learning more about first-line treatment options from matching the pairs on the touchscreen displays.
