Calendar - Oct 10 to Dec 10

Winter Clinical Workshop: Dermatology

The course will suit new graduates and practitioners in mixed or equine practice who want to improve their management of equine wounds.

This is a new workshop designed to provide practical instruction in the diagnosis and treatment of neurology cases in practice. This workshop is aimed at new graduates and those wishing to refresh their skills. The course starts with a general overview of those conditions causing neurological signs in the horse and a revision of the neurological examination. We then consider what further tests are indicated in each case and cover how to perform these tests correctly. We then consider the different causes of neurological problem in more detail. This Core Skills workshop includes 2 1/2 hours of practical instruction and will be accompanied by a clinical steeplechase with the images to be discussed available on the BEVA website prior to the course.

North East Regional Meeting: Dentistry

This is a 2 day course, consisting of two half days of lectures and two half days of practicals. Both the lectures and practical classes will be held at Rossdales Equine Hospital, Newmarket and their adjacent yards.

This course follows from the one in 2009 on “Orthopaedic Poor Performance: Hindlimb and Back”. This is an intensive course aimed at delegates with experience of orthopaedic work-ups and advanced imaging techniques. Radiography, ultrasonography, scintigraphy, CT and MRI will be covered – with an emphasis on racehorses and sport horses. The lameness session will cover sport-specific problems in the forelimbs and neck, again covering sport horses and racehorses. Up-to-date areas of diagnosis and treatment, both medical and surgical, will be covered by the panel of experienced speakers: who have extensive theoretical and practical experience. The course will be problem-based with an emphasis on group and panel interactions. The focus will be on contemporary, difficult and contentious topics. The number of delegates will be limited to facilitate audience-speaker interaction.
