book iconAbout the Course

These workshops are designed to provide all the essential information to ensure that delegates can confidently perform a five-stage vetting in line with RCVS, BEVA and VDS recommendations. Previous attendees have ranged from junior vets wishing to start carrying out PPEs to senior practitioners wanting to remind themselves of potential PPE pitfalls and how best to communicate contentious findings. The speakers, including an equine claims consultant from the VDS, all have a huge wealth of knowledge of PPE in practice. The practical programme includes examining horses with reference to wind, eyes, heart, ageing, flexion tests, conformation, intended use and much more… You will need your ophthalmoscope, stethoscope and suitable outdoor clothing for this course.

Change of format - please note that due to COVID-19 guidelines the format of this course has now changed. All delegates will be required to attend their lectures from home on Monday 19 October, these will be hosted virtually. Delegates will then attend practical sessions on Tuesday 20 October, split into a morning and afternoon group.
