Modern equine practice is evolving, and prevention is leading the way. Our upcoming course, Preventative medicine: proactive management, is designed to help experienced equine vets move beyond reactive treatment and embrace strategies that safeguard long-term health.
This highly practical programme focuses on risk-based, evidence-led care. Through interactive case discussions and real-world examples, you’ll learn how to anticipate and mitigate common threats such as infectious disease, gastric conditions, metabolic syndromes, and parasite challenges. The goal? To equip you with the tools to create tailored preventive plans for every horse and yard you manage.
Why this course matters
• Stay ahead of disease: Learn how to identify risk factors early and implement interventions before problems arise.
• Hands-on learning: Bring your own cases and explore proactive solutions with peers and expert clinicians.
• Immediate impact: Gain practical strategies you can apply in everyday practice to improve outcomes for horses under your care.
