Dentistry is a significant part of companion animal practice – and it’s becoming more so. Do you have the skills to confidently approach the surgical management of dental disease? Can you perform the procedures needed with efficiency whilst minimising complications to your patient? This is your opportunity to be mentored by leaders in the field and be individually guided on techniques and tips that will make your life much easier – and improve your clinical outcomes! Tony Caiafa is recognised as a leader with a capacity to empower vets with the skills they need in daily practice; he will be assisted by Kayo Kuroda, equally as passionate educator. Take the distress out of dentals for both you and your patient – this 2-day workshop is essential for any small animal clinician.

Workshop on the use of modern insulin treatment protocols and continuous glucose monitoring in diabetic cats and dogs. Have you heard about new tools for managing diabetes in cats and dogs and wondered how to best incorporate them into your practice? Do you want to better understand new insulin formulations (such as Toujeo) or new technology such as continuous glucose monitors?

This small group workshop is designed to give you a basic understanding of small animal (dog and cat) echocardiography. Major topics will include ultrasound principles, normal cardiac anatomy and physiology. Also included will be techniques for achieving quality 2D and M-mode images and results, case presentations of important diseases and emergency cases, as well as plenty of opportunity for hands-on scanning of normal dogs. Individual coaching of how to obtain 2D and M-mode echocardiographic views and measurements (taught in the lectures) will be the main focus. Requirements: No prior experience or knowledge is required to participate in this workshop.

This course is designed to give participants a more advanced understanding of small animal echocardiography. Major topics include in-depth cardiac anatomy and physiology, techniques for achieving high-quality results, case presentations of important diseases and handson scanning of normal dogs. Skills taught in these hands-on sessions include pulse wave Doppler, continuous wave Doppler, colour flow Doppler, special measurements and calculations and applying the Bernoulli equation to clinical cases. Requirements: This workshop is only available to individuals who have completed the Basic Echocardiography Workshop, or who can provide evidence of equivalent experience.
