Kieran Borgeat

The key to confident cardiac diagnostics - finding and measuring the left atrium

Have you ever struggled to be confident about whether or not heart disease is the cause of respiratory signs in a dog or a cat? Being able to confidently identify and gauge the size of the left atrium on radiography and ultrasound will change how you work in primary care practice.  In this webinar Kieran will review how to repeatably measure the left atrium on radiographs and how we can evolve our 'peek and shriek' ultrasound into a more structured assessment of atrial size.

Peter discusses how to perform a complete oral and dental examination and then describes the techniques that are used for scaling and polishing teeth.

Jaw fractures in cats – what are my options?

Jaw fractures are a common sequel to serious skull trauma in cats. They are often complex and both diagnosis and fixation present significant challenges. In part one of this two part presentation, we look at the incidence and common patterns of maxillary and mandibular fracture and review two common techniques of fracture stabilisation using dental composite and wire.

David Mackenzie

Emergency and Critical Care of the Diabetes Patient

A case based webinar looking at the management of critically ill diabetes patients.

How to perform effective CPR and get your patient back

In this online webinar, David will take a step-by-step approach on how to perform effective CPR and the practical aspects of patient resuscitation. He will review how to set up a crash area and how to organise your 'resus team' to give you the best chance of getting your patients back…and keeping them back!

Duncan Barnes

How to approach juvenile lameness in dogs

Lameness in young dogs is a common presentation. This interactive webinar will guide delegates through the approach to juvenile lameness, with plenty of examples and cases to illustrate the common types of problems we see.

Small Animal fracture assessment and treatment planning

To get the best results in dogs and cats with fractures we need to have a systematic approach to assessing our patients and their injuries. This webinar will take delegates step by step through the process of assessing fractures and how to make a plan for their treatment.

Tim Charlesworth

Laparoscopic neutering

Laparoscopic neutering is the most commonly performed "keyhole surgery" in the UK. This webinar will cover the pros and cons of laparoscopy and discuss the different techniques available to help vets choose the best approach to use on their patients. Common complications and how to deal with them will also be discussed.

Brachycephalic Surgery - Making the best of a “Brachy situation”

Brachycephalic breeds remain some of the most popular within the UK with more and more cases of BOAS presenting to vets. In this CPD webinar Tim discusses the assessment, management, early interventions and salvage procedures that can be used to treat these cases.

Tristan Merlin

Neuromuscular blocking agents

Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) are commonly used for ophthalmic surgeries. In this webinar Tristan gives an opportunity to those wanting to refresh their knowledge or learn more about this class of drugs, to use them more confidently.

Vanessa Woolhead

Feline azotaemia and ureteric obstructions

Chronic kidney disease is a common condition affecting our geriatric cats; however, alternative underlying causes of azotaemia, including ureteric obstructions, should be excluded in order for us to provide the most appropriate treatment. In this his webinar Vanessa reviews the pathophysiology of azotaemia with delegates to enable them to perform vital diagnostics and provide their clients with available treatment options.

Andrew Phillips
