“I attended the Emergency Surgery Course and could not recommend it more. It made me more confident in the surgical techniques I had already performed and gave me the confidence to try the ones I haven’t.”

 

“The bespoke emergency surgery CPD was very helpful and informative. The material was easy to understand, well explained and easy to apply during the practical session. Dr Laura Cuddy was an amazing guide during the practical sessions and the content was very relevant and interesting. The practical session especially was great for building confidence to apply the material in general practice. Everyone at Duggan was kind and helpful during the session. It was very well organised and a very enjoyable experience overall.”

 

“This cpd / conference was brilliant and life changing. As a general practice vet, we never know what to expect and we are always fearing cases like GDVS and splenectomies or even an emergency cystotomy. In University we have been taught these things on paper but most of us as normal human beings, we learn better when we actually do these procedures in practice. In this conference, we have been taught major skills in a very simple way by the amazing Laura Cuddy who was kind and patient. We were taught how to manage those scary surgeries in a very easy and simple manner and I am still mind blown by this. I can confidently say that if one of those cases come to me, I will be more than happy to do these procedures in the clinic without panicking. Thank you Duggan family for providing us with such a brilliant wet lab with every tools we needed and a great facility. I am really looking forward to what we will be learning next in the next cpds.”

 

“Super day with Duggan’s, learned a huge amount in one day and all very organised and enjoyable.”

 

“The days content of theory and practical experience was delivered in the most delightfully relevant and incredibly helpful way by a surgeon who knows not only his veterinary but also HOW to teach. Nothing beats learning in a practical environment, the cadavers were perfect and the ratio of 2 people per cadaver was ideal. We got to try everything covered in the theory. For me learning from a book or video is very difficult but the hands-on learning on this course is exactly what I need, especially after 25 years, it’s good to get a refresher!”

 

“I felt the CPD event was well organised, and I really enjoyed my time at the state-of-the-art facility in Tipperary. The wet lab time made up the majority of the day and covered a broad range of procedures. Our speaker was excellent, and we brought home plenty of surgical techniques that can be used in everyday first opinion practice.”

 

“One of the best hands-on professional development courses I've ever attended. Laura is really good at explaining how to do the surgeries and really supportive during the practical part!”

“This orthopaedics course was very informative and practical in a fantastic facility and gave me a skill set to use straight away.”

 

“Excellent CPD, well organised, very practical teaching and wet lab tutorials. Looking forward to coming back again.”

 

“Excellent content and practical training that is a must for any practitioner considering taking on orthopaedic work in practice.”

 

“Superb speakers and location, manifested in an excellent course. Highly recommended.”

 

“I was worried that I would not have enough knowledge to get the best benefit from this course, but the speakers really started very basic and repeated the important take home messages a few times. The practical workshop helped immensely to fully understand the theory and to use the instruments that I never held before. I am confident enough to give it a go in practice. Also, a big praise for excellent coffee and food!”

 

“Brilliant introduction to basic orthopaedics. Exactly what I needed to know in a form that allowed me to learn and enjoy.”

“Excellent location and excellent speaker. I would highly recommend Duggan Veterinary CPD.”

 

"The course was exceptionally well run and to a really high standard. I would definitely attend another course with Duggan Veterinary."

 

“Absolutely Excellent. So informative, content was delivered in a practical and easily applicable manner. Practical sessions were amazing and so beneficial! Would feel confident in knowing the surgical approach and having a healthy appreciation for the surgical risks. Looking forward to attempting some in practice. Would highly recommend!”

“The best CPD course I have participated “

 

“I really enjoyed the course, both Nora and Ingrid were very engaging speakers and the opportunity to practice extraction techniques on cadavers was great. They also managed to tailor the course to all levels as there was a mix of abilities on the course. The course is well organised, and all the staff are very professional. I feel very fortunate to have this high level of CPD available in Ireland.”

 

“Yes, the speakers we excellent, both great communicators and very encouraging. I enjoyed the guest musician and appreciated the emphasis on mental health.”

“Was above and beyond expectations”

 

“The CPD on Nurse Consults with Melanie O Donoghue exceeded my expectations. The venue was very well set up, phenomenal food and coffee supplied which made the day more comfortable. The course itself was incredibly informative and very real world focused with Melanie's experience in nursing proving invaluable. I willl definitely attend/recommend further CPD’s with Melanie and would strongly recommend Duggan’s as a venue, the team especially Sarah were warm and welcoming.”

“As always fantastic CPD at Duggan's. Challenging courses with plenty of support and guidance throughout. Great facilities with brilliant mentors.”

 

“The speakers were knowledgeable and relatable. They gave invaluable advice and related it to real life scenarios that can be used in practice.”

“An excellent hands-on course. Both James' and Shane's passion for teaching orthopaedics made for a great learning experience.”

 

“Top class facility with top class mentors!”

Both courses; Orthopaedics Fore and Hindlimb were excellent with superb wet site facilities, small group size, and excellent presenters. Recommend both very highly.

The Anaestheisa III CPD day was very impressive, I was very impressed with the quality and detail provided in the lectures in the morning. The practical session in the afternoon was excellent and allowed us to put what we had learnt into practice in 'real time' which is something that I haven't come across in anaesthesia CPD before.
