This talk focuses on the surgical management of two commonly encountered tumour types in small animal practice: mammary tumours and soft tissue sarcomas. Through case-based discussion, the course will address common clinical decision points, including appropriate diagnostic sampling, surgical planning, and peri-operativeconsiderations. Particular emphasis will be placed on choosing between fine needle aspiration and biopsy, selecting the most appropriate surgical approach, and understanding how surgical decisions impact prognosis and long-term disease control. The aim is to provide practical, evidence-based guidance to support confident decision-making in first-opinion and referral settings.

Join us for this exciting webinar with Chris De Jongh! 

A talk aimed at GP vets doing shifts in an ECC setting, as well as nurses practicing in the same, but will be valuable for clinical staff in all settings.
 
Aimed learning outcomes would be:
- Rapid identification of shock and various shock states.
- Tools to diagnose and monitor shock, especially the use of Shock Index.
- Ability to manage different shock states with fluids, oxygen support, decompression, vasopressor support.
- Introduce concept of Reperfusion Injury and consequences of such.

This lecture will deliver an insight into the wonders of Computed Tomography, appraising its clinical application in Veterinary Medicine! We will delve into to the merits of this 3-dimensional imaging modality, understanding how multi-planer reconstructions and volume rendering aid in advancing diagnoses and treatment strategies in our canine and feline patients. We will pit CT against the more widely available Ultrasound and X-ray, testing our knowledge of which imaging modality is best to employ in a variety of clinical scenarios. Dense with CT images and fascinating cases, this lecture hopes to further inspire the CT-curious!
