Effective Use of Veterinary Medicines
Central College of Animal Studies is running a CPD course, in September, on "The effective use of veterinary medicines".
Taking place at the college's headquarters in Elmswell, Suffolk, the one-day course will cover a range of topical subjects - such as, antibiotic resistance, disease-causing agents and epidemiology and disease control.
Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) Inspector, John Hall, is one of a number of experts who will be speaking at the event. During his talk, he will discuss with delegates the legislative framework surrounding the supply of veterinary medicines.
Other speakers include Dr Colin Roberts of the University of Cambridge, who will consider the effective use of antibiotics, and Duncan Hannant, Professor of Applied Immunology at the University of Nottingham's School of Veterinary Medicine.
Professor Hannant, whose mainstream research is in the area of respiratory viruses in horses, will give a talk entitled "Disease control and prevention: achievements to be gained with basic good sense and high tech science".
Alongside a range of informative and thought-provoking talks, the course will provide ample opportunities for discussion and networking.
The course will benefit anyone working with veterinary medicines although it is is designed for veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses, students, and SQPs.
Central College welcomes all interested parties to its headquarters on September 19. The course takes place between 9:30am and 4pm, and includes lunch.

Two independent vets have launched a podcast to help owners strengthen their bond with pets. Dr Maggie Roberts and Dr Vanessa Howie, who have worked in both veterinary practice and major charities, are keen to use their experience to enable people to give pets a better life.
