VetPD New Developments in Equine Wound Care – A 2-Day Practical Course

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 specimens. The management of acute and chronic wounds, including skin grafting techniques will also be covered.

The course fee includes lunches at a restaurant, coffee/tea breaks, extensive electronic course notes and a certificate of attendance. On the evening of the first day all attendees are invited to attend the wine & cheese reception. Attendees can choose to only attend the lectures (= Lectures Only) on this course or can register for the entire course (= Lectures & Practical Sessions). Early course registration is recommended as there are only a limited number of places available.

This course is suitable for RCVS Modules: B-EP.3; C-E.4; C-E.5; C-E.6; C-E.7; C-E.15; C-E.17
