We have some exciting Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses coming up at our Edinburgh centre over the next couple of months.
Bite Size CPD: Cytology, 26 April 2012, 7-9pm
Interested in microscopy or skin disease and want to know more? Cytology can give invaluable information about skin disease and ear disease which are both common in small animals. All too often, stubborn skin cases are referred without recourse to that faithful friend of the veterinary practice, the microscope. Join experienced referral dermatologist and author Donald MacTaggart as we investigate skin tumours, cysts, ear disease and skin infections using microscopy. Practical tips on getting effective and useful samples will be taught, and medical conditions will be illustrated using case studies from clinical practice.

Bite Size CPD: Nursing of the Avian Patient, 1 May 2012, 7-9pm
A wide variety of birds are frequently seen in clinical practice. Your patients can range from a timid little budgie all the way to an angry parrot with a razor sharp beak. Despite the varied background the initial treatment and supportive care of birds can be applied across many species. This evening session will cover the basic husbandry of commonly seen species and consider triage, emergency treatment and supportive care of ill birds.
