Soft tissue surgery

Soft tissue surgery

by | Feb 8, 2023

This is a two-day practical course in small animal surgery. The course is designed to cover all major aspects of head and neck, abdominal and reconstructive surgery. Some elements of theory will be given to put the surgery into context, but most of the time will be spent practicing techniques on cadavers. The course is suitable for all levels from beginners to advanced as there will be something to be gained by everyone. It is also designed to be flexible so people can practice at their own pace and concentrate on techniques that they would like to perfect. The tutors will be available to observe and have direct involvement in teaching the procedures.

The learning objectives of the course are:

  1. An understanding of when we perform the techniques and the potential complications we could encounter
  2. A review of the associated anatomy of each technique
  3. The surgical approach to the head and neck and abdominal cavity
  4. Focus on an emergency orientated approach to these areas such as tracheostomy and GDV surgery
  5. Understanding an approach to wound closure from simple to more complex

Jackie Demetriou will be one of the course tutors. She is a European Boarded Specialist in Small Animal Surgery, who has practiced specialist level soft tissue surgery for the past 20 years. She has worked in both academia (University of Edinburgh, University of Cambridge and University of Nottingham) and private referral practice. She has extensive experience teaching general practitioners the theory and practice of surgery and really enjoys seeing how surgeons gain confidence in managing cases and performing surgeries after these CPD events.

Neurology 1 – neurological examination and neurolocalisation

Neurology 1 – neurological examination and neurolocalisation

by | Jan 17, 2023

HOW TO DESCRIBE WHAT YOU SEE AND KNOW IF IT IS NORMAL

The neurological examination is one of the most important and cost-effective tools in clinical neurology

During this course delegate will learn:

  1. To determine if the nervous system is affected in a disease process (to detect the presence of a neurological abnormality)
  2. To establish an accurate anatomical diagnosis, to localise the lesion (to determine its location)

The neurological examination is the most important step in identifying if a patient’s condition is neurological (versus medical or orthopedic) and where in the nervous system the pathology is located. Delegate will be explained how to establish a routine standard procedure for examining an animal. This will provide the experience and confidence necessary to make an accurate neuroanatomical diagnosis. The neurological examination should enable an anatomical diagnosis to be established and determine where the lesion is: Brain, Spinal cord or Peripheral nerve and muscle. It is important to consider if one lesion can explain all deficits, or if the disease is more diffuse or multifocal.

This course is aimed at the every clinician as well to those with more experience and interest in small animal neurology.

Echocardiography 2

Echocardiography 2

by | Jan 2, 2023

This Echocardiography Course offers the opportunity to learn theoretical knowledge and develop the practical skills necessary for the use of transthoracic echocardiography in diagnostic investigation and disease treatment of cardiovascular disorders. During the course, participants will have the opportunity to develop their own echocardiographic skills and adapt the learning to their individual work experience and circumstances.
The Course includes a critical assessment of the role of echocardiography in clinical practice and a deepening of knowledge of echocardiographic instrumentation, Doppler physics, hemodynamics, anatomy and cardiovascular physiology and functional cardiac parameters. Course participants will also be able to perform hands-on exercises to refine the acquisition and interpretation of diagnostic images and learn the guidelines for a proper report of the echocardiographic examination.
