Practical Foal Nursing

About the Course

This course will begin with a live tour of the neonatal intensive care unit at Rossdales Equine Hospital. This will give an invaluable insight on how to design and set up a space for neonatal care, whether you work in a referral hospital or first opinion practice. Live cases will be presented and discussed where possible. This will give attendees access to real live cases and discuss their care as it happens. The second part of the course will involve a lecture detailing the nursing care of foals with diarrhoea. This will provide attendees with up-to-date information on a condition that is commonly encountered in equine veterinary practice. There will be question and answer session at the end of the course.

BVNA members can attend this course for the BEVA member price of £35. To book please contact the office directly by phone (01638 723555) or email.
