Our graduate programme is open to new and recently graduated vets across the entire island of
Ireland. The year long Program will cover 6 modules covering all the basic needs of a veterinary
surgeon dealing with small animals. The modules will include both theory and hands on practical
learning, which is essential for new grads to learn and progress in their careers.

After completing the programme, you will be competent in numerous areas such as diagnostics,
small animal surgery, effective consults, ultrasound scanning and dentistry. Modules are
delivered in 5 single day modules and one 2-day module (dentistry). Each day you will meet the
same group of colleagues allowing you to build and connect with similar minded people. You can
share experience, support one another and rally behind one another.

An additional bonus included in this programme is an induction night prior to the first session.
This will allow all delegate to meet, get to know another and settle into the programme prior to

This highly interactive and case-based course aims to provide further training to Veterinary Nurses who have an interest in radiography. The merit of a good quality radiograph cannot be emphasized enough! Interpretation and subsequent differential diagnoses are contingent upon adequate exposure settings and great positioning. Tricks of the trade that are easy to learn and implement, but are so often overlooked in the busy GP clinical setting, are simple yet highly effective. This course will provide lectures, case-based scenarios, quizzes and practical sessions and encourage collaborative radiograph critique. We look forward to you joining us!

Surgical emergencies represent a stressful aspect of daily practice for many of us. These often occur outside normal working hours when less support and assistance are available and patients are often critical, which adds to the stress. Appropriate decision-making and effective action must take place without delay for a successful outcome.
