We’ve always been proud of the CPD we provide but we’ve become aware that more experienced vets are not catered for as well as they should be. With this in mind we have committed ourselves to providing more courses suitable for those with a certificate or above (or of the equivalent experience). These will cover a variety of topics focusing on advances in these fields in a way relevant to practice life.
This started in 2019 with our Elite Sports Horse Discussion Forum and we’re continuing this Autumn with the Advanced Imaging Discussion Forum.
We’re excited to share with you a brand new course for 2021, the Advanced Imaging Discussion Forum will take place from October to December. Live discussions and on-demand lectures will explore imaging techniques for advanced vets. We find out more from the organisers...
Alison Talbot, David Stack, Jonathon Dixon and Neil Townsend will present a series of online discussion forums discussing more complicated interpretations of head, neck, back and pelvic images - areas that we’re increasingly imaging in practice.
Looking at imaging modalities such as CT and scintigraphy as well as radiography, this is aimed at those who may be collating more of such images and focuses on interpretation rather than acquisition. Pre-recorded lectures will be available for delegates to view in preparation for the live dates.
The increasingly fast-paced advance in technology means that procedures such as spinal radiography and radiography of the lumbar facet joints are now available in practice, rather than being the preserve of large hospitals. Similarly head CT is now a widely used diagnostic tool. Taking these images is only one part of the skill, with these advances we are obtaining clearer images and the ability to identify more potential pathology.
With this ability comes the need to be able to determine what is significant pathology relevant to the case, and what is an abnormal, but potentially not clinically significant finding. This is a fast moving area and is critical to accurately pinpoint and diagnose the clinically significant problem in any case.
