Veterinary CPD specialist Improve International is inviting vet-vet nurse teams to attend a new two-day programme on the medical and surgical aspects and prophylactic and therapeutic options for feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD). The course, led by veterinary Specialists Dr Jon Hall and Dr Danielle Gunn-Moore and supported by RVN Ms Claire Dorey-Phillips, takes place at Improve’s new practical training facility in Sheffield in January 2019.
FLUTD describes a variety of conditions that affect the bladder and urethra of cats. The programme will equip delegates with a full understanding of the causes of FLUTD and help them to advise owners with cats suffering from the condition in order to improve long-term outcomes. It will also provide a comprehensive overview of the nursing and medical options to treat feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC) and other causes of FLUTD including infection, calculi and neoplasia. The range of appropriate surgical methods to treat ureteral obstructions will also be covered, along with the post-operative nursing care, to ensure that delegates feel ready to perform a variety of bladder surgeries with confidence.
Commenting on the new course, Juliet Pope MRCVS, Veterinary Operations Manager at Improve International, said: “Treating patients with FLUTD is a team effort so we’re offering a special rate for a vet and nurse attending from the same practice though both vets and nurses can still, of course, book independently. The cutting-edge programme will be highly interactive and we aim to send delegates back to their practices with a revitalised approach to these tricky cat cases.”
Improve International is one of the UK’s leading veterinary training companies with a 20-year track record in providing structured continuing professional development (CPD) to veterinary professionals. It works closely with its assessment partner, ESVPS, and Harper Adams University, which provides the higher education body quality assurance, in running programmes covering a growing range of practice disciplines.
