This course is aimed at all levels of veterinarians in general equine practice. It will provide delegates with reviews, updates and tips for diagnosis of diseases and disorders affecting the upper respiratory tract of the horse, including investigating unilateral nasal discharge and epistaxis, guttural pouch disorders, recurrent laryngeal neuropathy, diagnosis and treatment of dynamic disorders of the URT and transendoscopic laser surgery. Practical sessions on sinus anatomy and basic surgical techniques as well as practical endoscopy and a laser surgery demonstration will be followed by interactive audience-panel case based discussions.

This meeting, held in conjunction with one of the national farriery organisations, NAFB&AE, occurs only once every other year and so generates considerable interest from both farriers and veterinary surgeons. Please book early to avoid disappointment as this meeting sold out when last run.

The meeting will cover subjects that equine practitioners will find valuable in their dayto- day practice, but uniquely the subjects are approached from both a veterinary and a farriery perspective. The speakers are from the UK, the USA and the Netherlands so a truly international approach is guaranteed. Lively post lecture discussions, which are often both informative and amusing, are common at this meeting.

The commercial exhibition is strongly supported particularly by manufacturers in farriery equipment and related products. It is therefore an ideal opportunity to acquire the latest tools/gadgets and discuss new techniques and theories.

This course is aimed at both the recent graduate as well as the more experienced practitioners returning to work with horses and looking for a refresher. The day’s programme is split into practical, video and lecture sessions. By making use of the excellent wet-lab facilities at the veterinary school, there will be ample opportunity for practising intra-articular and perineural injection techniques. Much of the day will be spent in pairs or small groups, with individual sessions kept to less than 45 minutes.

This is a ‘hands-on’ course aimed at practitioners at all levels of equine and mixed practice.
Topics covered include:
• Continuous infusion sedation (e.g. for standing oral tooth extractions)
• Local anaesthetic techniques (e.g. epidural, anaesthesia for ocular surgery)
• Sedation (e.g. neonates, adults and ‘the untouchables’)
• In-field general anaesthesia (e.g. single bolus, GA, TIVA)

This course is aimed at covering principles of musculoskeletal ultrasonography. The normal anatomy of the metacarpal and metatarsal region will be covered. Superficial digital flexor tendon, deep digital flexor tendon, inferior check ligament and suspensory ligament injuries will be specifically covered. Likewise, injuries to the palmar or plantar pastern region and its normal ultrasonography will also be covered. Other areas covered will include the ultrasonography of tendon sheaths and bursae as well as imaging of joints including the stifles, hock, carpus and fetlock joints. Ultrasonography of the foot, back and pelvis will also be covered, as will ultrasonographic imaging of traumatic injuries, foreign bodies and sepsis.

Practical sessions:
This course will have a strong emphasis on “hands on” practical sessions. Small groups using high quality machines will cover the normal ultrasonography of various areas as well as a number of pathological conditions from the metacarpal region, metatarsal region, palmar and plantar pasterns, back, pelvis and various joints.
