Forthcoming CPD Courses at Edinburgh (May 2012)

We’ve got some great lectures and courses coming up in May at our Edinburgh centre!

Bite Size CPD: Professional Issues Affecting Veterinary Nurses, 10 May 2012, 7-9pm
Veterinary nurses face a new regulatory world these days – but there’s no need to panic! Join Dr Elizabeth Mullineaux as she clearly lays out your rights and privileges, in addition to your legal responsibilities in the modern veterinary world. Dr Mullineaux has been a clinical coach, teacher, and co-editor of several VN texts – including the BSAVA Textbook of Veterinary Nursing (formerly Jones’s).

Bite Size CPD: Equine Dentistry, 17 May 2012, 7-9pm
This evening’s lecture on the equine oral cavity is a good first step in developing an interest in equine dentistry. Join equine expert Louise Cornish and learn about normal equine dental anatomy and physiology as well as common pathologies affecting the teeth. Preventative care and disease treatment will also be discussed in this lecture, which should give you something to chew on!

Bite Size CPD: Dermatology – common skin problems in Dogs, Cats, and Small Furries, 24 May 2012, 7-9pm
Skin disease is one of the commonest presenting signs in small animal practice but can be a challenge to diagnose and treat. From “itchy pet” to “hairless pet”, this course will cover the common skin problems and illustrate diseases with case studies from clinical practice. Dermatology expert Donald MacTaggart will emphasize the veterinary nurse’s role in the dermatology case. For more information, or to book, click here. £28 (£15 for CAW Students and TP Staff!)

Bite Size CPD: Equine First Aid, 31 May 2012, 7-9pm
It’s an article of faith that a horse will manage to hurt itself just when there’s no vet to be found, in an area they’ve been happily living in for ages. Equine expert Louise Cornish’s lecture is warmly recommended for nurses, horse owners and carers who may be in a position to render first aid to an injured horse. For more information, or to book, click here. £28 (£15 for CAW Students and TP Staff!)
