Events in May
Reproductive Ultrasound Course
21/05/2013
This course is designed to benefit those with a range of experience in reproductive and foal ultrasonography. The main emphasis of the course is practical sessions involving mares, foals and clinical cases. There will also be lectures to supplement and reinforce the practical sessions.
Orthopaedic emergencies in horses are common occurrences and require a calm and confident approach to the injured horse and its owner/trainer. Often the equine practitioner has to take life-saving decisions and initiate critical treatments on the spot in order to give the horse a fighting chance. This 2-day practical course has been developed to equip veterinarians from mixed and equine practice with the required knowledge and the practical skills to examine injured horses and to carry out state-of-the-art therapy. This course very much focusses on decision-making in an equine orthopaedic emergency situation. Over the two days most orthopaedic emergency scenarios and how such cases can be approached will be extensively discussed and trained on live horses and cadavers. The management of acute and chronic wounds, including skin grafting techniques will also be covered.
Equine Lameness Core Skills Workshop
30/05/2013
A practical, hands on approach to investigating the lame horse starting with the visual assessment and moving through approach to blocking technique and interpretation to the benefits and limitations of routine and advanced diagnostic imaging modalities to reach an accurate diagnosis.
This core skills course will equip the recent graduate or mixed practioner with techniques and strategies to approach the simple to more complicated multiple limb lameness cases. With a heavy emphasis on practical instruction and utilizing both dead limbs and live horses the course will aim to give the delegate the confidence to assess, block and manage anything from a ‘simple’ foot related lameness to more extensive lameness cases involving one or more limbs.
Events in June
This session, presented by Rob Pascoe, will cover oral examination techniques in the horse.
Practical Equine Cardiology
05/06/2013
This popular one-day equine cardiology course is being offered again in 2013. This is a practical course and covers all the commonly encountered cardiovascular abnormalities in horses. Emphasis is placed on auscultation and hands-on interpretation of clinical findings using horses with cardiac abnormalities brought into the racing school. The course includes over 3 hours of practical case examination and case discussion of horses affected with all of the common cardiac abnormalities that you are likely to encounter in general practice, so please bring suitable clothing and your stethoscope. The course is ideal for equine practitioners and RCVS cardiology certificate candidates.
Practical Equine Cardiac Ultrasound
06/06/2013
This course has been designed to teach veterinary surgeons how to scan the horse’s heart and follows directly after practical equine cardiology. This course is being offered for the tenth consecutive year running. Delegate numbers are limited to ensure maximum exposure to case material. You are advised to register early to avoid disappointment as for the past 10 years the course has sold out.
Midlands Regional Meeting: Advanced Imaging
10/06/2013
This evening meeting will cover new developments in diagnostic imaging, including scintigraphy and MRI.
This Nursing regional meeting will cover a range of topics relevant to equine veterinary nurses.
Events in July
Clinical Governance Workshop
18/07/2013
Clinical governance is an essential aspect of the new RCVS code of Professional conduct for veterinary surgeons. It is equally an important aspect of the practice standards schemes. Clinical audit is one component of this, that many practitioners ‘look on with fear causing them to break out in hot and cold sweats’ (Lynne Hill, Past RCVS President). Clinical audit is NOT clinical research, it is achievable within the normal clinical setting and can be carried out by all of us.
These workshops are designed for those who, perhaps, do not spend all their professional time working with horses. Previous delegates have ranged from new graduates, wishing to extend their reach with regard to equine practice, right through to senior members who have felt the need to update their knowledge. The subject covers an area, which has caused much concern in recent years, hence the inclusion of a speaker from the Veterinary Defence Society. The practical programme will include examining horses with particular reference to wind, eyes, heart, ageing, flexion tests, conformation, intended use and much more.
