VRCC Supports Kenyan CPD Initiative

Leading UK Veterinary Referral Centre VRCC are working alongside Kenyan Veterinary Surgeons Dr Zahoor Kashmiri and Nonee Magre to stage a long weekend of small animal lectures on the shores of the beautiful and historic Indian Ocean City of Mombasa. The event, which will be open to Veterinarians and Students from throughout East Africa is scheduled to take place in November and VRCC Practice Director Malcolm Holland, who has been a regular visitor to Kenya for over 30 years is very excited about the project. VRCC has been greatly encouraged by the support already received and at a meeting last week with Theunis de Bruyn, who is Merial's Export and Sales Manager for the region, Theunis expressed his enthusiasm and support for this much needed project. "This will be a wonderful much needed opportunity for East African Veterinary Professionals to meet, interact and up-date themselves on developments in small animal medicine and surgery." It is hoped that the specially tailored CPD weekend attracting clinicians from a huge area will be the first of many, becoming a regular event. The Directors at VRCC see this as a real practical opportunity to increase the level of small animal treatment throughout the region helping a country that is really working hard to recover from its recent political turmoil's. Companies or individuals who are interested in supporting this project in Kenya should contact VRCC who will welcome co-operation from others keen to help.
