Clinical Procedures & In-House Pathology
Feel as if you need an update? Chasing some structured CPD but not sure which subject to choose? Pick this one.
This workshop covers the greatest scope of all our courses, giving you the edge in your in-house diagnostics and everything you need to perform a range of essential clinical and emergency procedures. These are the skills that make a difference in daily veterinary practice.
This course is suitable for current & practicing mixed or small animal veterinarians, recent graduates, or those returning to work. We can tailor the course to your level so you can refresh and extend your clinical repertoire, approaching clinical workups with confidence and a sprinkling of finesse.
For registered veterinarians only.
WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?
This workshop is for registered veterinarians who want to improve their diagnostic workups and get more accurate answers, sooner.
If you feel that your in-house laboratory could yield more useful information, you’re probably right. But that’s only part of the picture. Before you hit the lab, you also need to perform the right clinical procedures and safely obtain a diagnostic sample.
Whether you’ve done it all before or you’ve just never had the chance to perform them, these clinical procedures and in-house laboratory skills will make your workups really count. We’ll help you sniff out your diagnosis and cover which tests you really should do before you refer a patient or dial a specialist for advice (you know, those tests they casually ask about).
Participants in this workshop will be greeted by experienced educators from general practice, emergency and critical care, internal medicine, surgical referral and shelter medicine. Our goal is to provide you with expertise from across the industry and show you how to move your cases forward (even if your practice doesn’t have a CT and dedicated seizure ward or other fancy, nice-to-have equipment).
This course is all about giving you the opportunity to perform procedures, get samples, analyse them, and reach a diagnosis. Don’t miss this opportunity to refresh and fine-tune your clinical workups.
