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.
