Directions Kent Event Centre Map Full Course Programme

This practical course, led by world-renowned expert Professor Jean-Marie Denoix, will include live demonstrations of the ultrasonographic anatomy of the equine foot, pastern and fetlock in normal horses, with discussion of the diagnostic features of common clinical conditions affecting these areas.

For the afternoon practical sessions, delegates will be divided into small groups to allow hands-on ultrasound imaging of live horses. There will also be opportunities to practise ultrasound-guided injection of the navicular bursa in cadaver legs.

Please note, the morning demonstrations will be held at the Kent Event Centre, and the afternoon practical sessions will be held at Bell Equine Veterinary Clinic.
