FULLY BOOKED: Pre-Purchase Examination – the essentials

About 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… Please note, you will need your ophthalmoscope, stethoscope and suitable outdoor clothing.

This course is fully booked. To be added to waiting list and contacted if a place becomes available please send your name, email address and contact telephone number to events@beva.org.uk
