This three-day course is designed for veterinarians seeking to enhance their orthopaedic expertise, including early-career practitioners, or those aspiring to specialise in orthopaedic surgery. Through lectures, interactive discussions and practical sessions, participants will refine their decision-making skills in managing fracture cases, and gain practical experience of using different fracture stabilisation techniques through hands-on training with cadaver specimens.
Lectures will be delivered on fracture biology and healing, fracture planning (simple, complex and open fractures), and post-operative patient care. Techniques including the proper use of IM pins and wires, external skeletal fixation, and bone plates and screws will be discussed in the lectures, and subsequently delegates will apply these techniques on cadavers in the practical sessions. Delegates will gain practical experience of using the appropriate technique to repair a variety of fractures including an oblique femoral fracture, comminuted radial or tibial fractures, lateral condylar fractures, and mandibular symphyseal fractures. There may also be a ‘mystery’ fracture challenge!
This 3 day course is designed for veterinarians seeking to enhance their neurological expertise, including early-career practitioners, or those aspiring to specialise in neurology or neurosurgery.
Through lectures, practical sessions, and interactive case discussions, participants will refine their clinical reasoning in recognising and localising neurological disease, and strengthen their diagnostic approach using imaging (CT/MRI/myelogram) and pathology. Key steps in decision-making will be discussed to answer the question: when to operate and when to pursue conservative management.
Practical elements of the course include examination of live dogs, identifying neuroanatomical pathways leading to accurate neurolocalisation, and CSF collection will be practiced on cadavers, along with microscope use and interpreting cytology findings.
Delegates will receive hands-on surgical training in two key procedures – hemilaminectomy and ventral slot. Detailed stepwise training will be provided on the anatomy, surgical approaches, and execution, with delegates practising on cadavers.
This dynamic and immersive workshop is designed to equip early-career veterinarians with the essential skills and confidence to effectively tackle dermatological challenges in their patients. Over the course of 1.5 days, teaching will be delivered by a blend of lectures and hands-on practical sessions in three modules: (a) foundations of dermatology, (b) clinical approach to the ‘itch’, and (c) clinical approaches to alopecia and otitis.
The first part of each module will feature lectures and group discussions covering foundation topics such as skin histology, understanding causes and mechanisms, and formulating differential lists and treatment plans. The second part of each module will involve hands-on activities, allowing participants to apply their knowledge in practical scenarios. These will include live dog hands-on examination and practising sampling techniques and microscopy, to maximise the likelihood of reaching a diagnosis.
Interactive quizzes at the end of the sessions will help delegates apply their new-found knowledge.
Arthropod, protozoa and helminth parasites are the most important infectious diseases causing disease and production loss in pastoral livestock around the world, and new approaches to control are needed to ensure sustainable livestock production in the face of climate and animal management changes and the emergence of antiparasitic drug resistance.
This one-day course will be structured around formal lectures, interactive tutorials and practical classes. Examples and case studies will be used to describe parasitic life histories and epidemiology, genetic adaptations, diagnostic testing, and the principles of parasite control and reducing exposure to infective stages such that hosts can develop protective immunity without production loss. The importance of antiparasitic drug resistance and strategies to slow its emergence and spread will be highlighted, and guidance given on formulating a health plan for effective and sustainable parasite control.
This one-day course is intended for veterinary practitioners or students wishing to improve their radiology interpretation skills through active participation in discussions about a series of thoracic, abdominal and orthopaedic cases, chosen to illustrate important principles. CT scans will also be used, mainly to help explain anatomic or pathologic features of radiographs. MRI will not be discussed at length.
Examples of specific principles that will be demonstrated and discussed include using the history (a key step in forming a differential list), distinguishing major and minor findings, recognising normal variants and imaging-pathologic correlations. Can you tell the difference between pneumonia and a lung neoplasm on a radiograph? Are you able to determine the origin of an abdominal mass? This course will help you develop a logical structured diagnostic approach to help solve these common imaging challenges.
This course is designed for veterinarians who have encountered paralyzed dogs and cats in clinical practice and have found the treatment effects to be limited, and who have heard of or are interested in traditional Chinese veterinary medicine or veterinary acupuncture. The course will help veterinarians establish a basic understanding of veterinary acupuncture and teach the basic operations of acupuncture treatment for paralyzed dogs and cats.
Core training modules:
Basic neurological diagnosis of paralysis in dogs and cats
The origin and development of veterinary acupuncture therapy
Acupuncture treatment for paralysis in dogs and cats
This two-day course is aimed at veterinarians who wish to develop their knowledge and skills in small animal endocrinology. The course will be delivered through a mixture of lectures and interactive case-based seminars. Delegates will be encouraged to use anonymous voting software to enhance participation and learning during the case-based discussions.
Each session will start with a presentation on the approach to common endocrine presentations such as polyuria/polydipsia, non-pruritic alopecia and collapse. Then specific lectures on thyroid diseases, adrenal diseases, diabetes, calcium disorders and some rare endocrinopathies will be given. Each session will conclude with interactive case studies that allow the delegates to practice what they have learnt.
Sheep and goats are ideally suited to both commercial and smallholder farming in India. The global efficiency of small ruminant production is inadequate to meet fundamental ‘one health’ needs for the production of food in the fight against hunger and unemployment in rural areas. Production losses arise due to interactions between husbandry, nutrition and pathogens. Better preventive healthcare, accounting for each of these themes, is needed to enable small ruminants to meet their genetic potential; and as a basis for further improvement to meet global needs.\
This one-day course will be structured around formal lectures and interactive exercises based on case studies relevant to Indian small ruminant farming. We will discuss topics including the key nutritional, husbandry and infectious disease challenges, and the principles of preventive healthcare. Interactive sessions will include formulating a generic health plan for adaptation to suit local conditions.
This one-day course will use an engaging learning format, delivering a dynamic mix of case studies, lectures, and tutorials. A strong theoretical foundation will be established early, enabling delegates to build a solid understanding of disease outbreak investigation principles and methodologies.
Real-world insights will be used to apply theoretical concepts to example scenarios inspired by actual outbreak situations. Practical skill development will occur through hands-on experience of investigating disease outbreaks directly in the field, and delegates will learn actionable approaches that can be implemented in real settings, using field-relevant knowledge.
This two-day course is aimed at veterinarians and students who wish to improve their theoretical knowledge and practical skills in anaesthesia of small and large animals. Lectures will cover the core principles and fundamentals of anaesthesia in small animals and in cattle, highlighting the physiology and special considerations in the latter species.
Practical approaches to anaesthetic techniques in dogs will be discussed, with hands-on demonstration of anaesthetic machine components and their safe operation. Live demonstrations of dog anaesthesia induction, monitoring techniques, and safety protocols will also feature. On the large animal side, field anaesthesia techniques designed for farm environments will be discussed, as well as adaptation of anaesthesia machines and instrumentation for large animals. Practical demonstrations will be given of general anaesthesia procedures in cattle.
