February is all about Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) at the VWL. 

We'll be reviewing the technology from its practical purpose to the type of wounds that can benefit.
Often thought to be reserved for referral practice we will show you that it really is a practical (and logical) solution for any practice. Not only can it help to encourage faster vascularisation of the wound bed, but with less interventions required compared to standard open wound management it may mean less anesthesias required to achieve reconstruction. (Stanley, 2011)

Whatever device you opt for, we will cover the science behind the technology, the typical features of these devices and their practical application for a range of wound types and surgical procedures.

We will be delivering at least 4 hours of content this month, including an interactive survey and open Q&A for all levels of practice.

All of this content is FREE with VWL Membership.
If you are not already a member you can join here.

It's starting to feel a lot like Christmas! We're wrapping up the year by sharing some of our favourite tips that will make your healing ambitions easier. We've kicked things off with a little intro video. We know that knowledge alone isn't enough to help you heal. That is why we also provide telemedicine support. To give you that little bit of wisdom you need to make the most of what you learn. 

The Covid pandemic may have made us all more aware of the life cycle of microbes and some of us may be using a lot more disinfectants than we used to. While we splash the disinfectants around it's really important to remember that not all are Pet friendly.

This month we will be covering skin preparation and how we can actively reduce risks of complications. We have some big revelations for you this month and would like to encourage debate and plenty of questions during this month's sessions. 

We would also like to say a big 'Thank You' to Zoflora for sponsoring this month's theme. They've even contributed a special product focus for us to explain how their products work and how to get the best from them.  ​

Some of the most dramatic cases can leave you wondering if there is any hope at all. With a bit of guidance and expertise it is amazing what can be achieved. We have a great range of cases from Small animal and Equine practice covering more than 6 hours of expert led content, tips and techniques that will have you looking forward to your next healing challenge.

We are delighted to bring a great programme of world class content to our members over the next few months. September takes us 'back to basics'. We know you probably already knew it, but there is a great comfort in learning it again with a few years under your belt. Once it's in our archive you can catch up any time you need a quick reminder. 
October, well. It's all about Halloween. How could we not make the most of it. Let's not pretend that those big wounds are not interesting. They are. Even more so when they heal well, and we can learn so much when they do! 
November. Infection Control. "BORING" i hear you say!?... well, hmm... it could be, but remember we do stuff differently. We promise this won't be boring. In fact. We'll show you why it is scarier than our best Halloween effort! 

There is still time to join our LIVE Q&A session on 27th August at 19:00 (UK time).
