After the highly successful inaugural event held in Derby last year, the event is merging with the new northern VETcpd Congress, giving attendees an even wider range of subjects in their quest for 14 hours of CPD.
The wound management streams are for both veterinary surgeons and nurses – and anyone else interested – to learn about the latest wound management techniques.
Lectures:
There’s a brilliant line-up of speakers in the lecture programme covering various different aspects and considerations for wound management through all stages, from initial presentation and assessment of the traumatic wound patient, including lavage and debridement techniques, to selection of dressings for open wound management, to surgical closure as well as troublesome topics from acute wound management to wounds in rabbits and other exotic species, coping with eye problems and what to do and what not to do after oral surgery to allow healing.
Speakers in the wound management stream will include: Professor Jon Hall, a European and RCVS Recognised Specialist in Small Animal Surgery; Dr Molly Varga, an RCVS Recognised Specialist in Zoo and Wildlife Medicine; the inimitable Dr David Williams; Dr Bob Partridge, a European and RCVS Recognised Specialist in Dentistry; and Samantha Bell RVN, Head Veterinary Nurse at Rowe Referrals and Dr Samantha Lane, an RCVS Advanced Practitioner in Small Animal Surgery.
Workshops:
The Bandaging Angels, led by Shelly Jefferies, will run a series of workshops covering ‘Wound preparation for optimum healing’; ‘Wound dressing selection’; and ‘Building a better bandage’. These will be limited to 18 delegates at a time and will be repeated each day to ensure everyone can benefit from them.
Angie Lloyd Jones and Julie Burnage of Aspire UCS will run a series of workshops on ultrasound, covering basic system controls and image optimisation, abdominal ultrasound assessment techniques, and other aspects, answering queries in an “agony aunt” format throughout each session.
Equine Stream:
Featuring eminent speakers such as Professor Michael Schramme of the University of Lyon, Dr Alison Talbot of the University of Liverpool, Dr Lesley Young from Newmarket, Dr Gemma Pearson from Edinburgh, David Green from the VDS and Philip Cramo of Hambleton Equine Clinic.
