I enjoyed the course. The small group and wet lab made it so useful.
Got some good practice using plates and hopefully can put this into practice soon
The Echo course with Central CPD was one of the best practical courses Ive
been to! The group size was perfect, the mix between practical and theoretical
training was ideal. The notes were excellent. And of course Joao was absolutely
brilliant and so approachable
Thank you so much for such a great course, I learned loads and thought the

Course Synopsis
Collapsed dogs are a relatively common emergency
presentation in small animal practice and a
rational approach to these patients is essential to
guide management and maximise the chance of a
successful outcome. There are a number of diferent
causes of collapse but not all are as serious as each
other! In this course we will review how to approach
the problem of collapse and discuss some of the
more common causes such as shock, dysrhythmias
and central neurological problems. Delegates are
strongly encouraged to bring with them case details
of collapsed dog cases that they have seen and
would like to discuss further.

Understanding Jaundice and Anaemia
Course Synopsis
Jaundice is a relatively common presenting sign that
is ofen dificult to navigate. This one-day course will
demonstrate how to diferentiate between the three
mechanisms that can result in jaundice- erythrocyte
destruction, hepatic disease or post-hepatic
obstruction of the biliary system, and how to then
use a logical approach to reach a definite diagnosis.
Using case examples, we will discuss practical tips
for the distinction of the pathogeneses, diagnosis
and treatment of the underlying diseases.
Immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia (IMHA) is
one of the most common causes of jaundice in dogs
and ofen presents in an emergency situation- a
review of emergency stabilization of these patients,
and IMHA treatment options will be discussed, as well
as the other diferentials that should be considered
in these anaemic and jaundiced patients.

An Update on Diabetes
Date: Wednesday 6th May 2015
Location: Kings College, Waterloo, London
Price: 295 +VAT
Lecturer: Grant Petrie MA VetMB, CertCARD CertSAM
Course Synopsis
Diabetes mellitus is a common endocrine disease
in small animal practice. The diagnosis is usually
straightforward but the management can be
demanding. We have all encountered those
nightmare cases, that are either impossible to
stabilise or seem to lose glycaemic control for no
obvious reason. Complications can arise from
unrecognised disease but also from incorrect
or inappropriate management. While insulin
therapy is the cornerstone of treatment, adjunctive
management, particularly diet and exercise, can be
pivotal to success.
This one-day course will focus on providing practical
advice to improve diabetic care from the day
delegates return to their Practices.
Adjunctive management of diabetic patients
Practical protocols for managing diabetes

Course Synopsis
The priorities for emergency patients are somewhat
diferent to the routine non-emergency cases, and
cats in particular can be even more vulnerable and
easier to tip over the edge when very sick. In this
course we will review some of the core principles
of the approach to the feline emergency patient
including major body system examination, shock,
indications for and use of fluid therapy, analgesia
and oxygen therapy, before applying these to real
cases that are frequently seen, such as RTAs and
tomcat urethral obstruction. Delegates are strongly
encouraged to bring with them case details about
feline emergency patients that they have seen and
would like to discuss further.

Course Synopsis
This interactive day course will demistify the
management of diabetes mellitus- a common
endocrine disease where the diagnosis is usually
fairly straight forward, but the management can
present a challenge for the whole practice team.
Furthermore, the complications that can arise from
incorrect or inappropriate management can be more
problematic than the disease itself. Using plenty
of clinical cases to support theory, there will be
discussions on, among other things, diabetic clinics,

Course Synopsis
Respiratory patients are a hugely variable population;
from the cyanotic, aged Labrador collapsed in the
waiting room, to the chronically snotty Persian who
presents all too ofen for poor appetite and nasal
discharge. Nurses can be key to the management of
these patients- from skillfully managing a dyspnoeic
dog to facilitate diagnostics and treatment, to caring
for a anorexic, chronic snufler in the clinic. The
aims of this one-day session include promoting
confidence when dealing with the dyspnoeic
patient, revising radiography and looking at the
management of cats with chronic nasal disease and
feline asthma using case examples.

Course Synopsis
Nurse clinics are a fantastic way of improving client
service, as well as being a proven way to generate
significant income when ran properly. Unfortunately
consult skills are generally overlooked during
training in the veterinary profession and we know
it may not always come easy. Weve developed a
practical day of training in the 7 key consult skills-
paying attention to these 7 key steps during a client
consultation is proven to improve both practice
eficiency and client satisfaction. Sounds simple,
doesnt it? And the theory certainly is. But delivering
these steps in a way that engages your client so that
theyll whole-heartedly recommend your practice to
friends and family is a real skill. One you can learn.
And we can show you how.
