Forelimb focus for CPD day

Details of veterinary rehabilitation day announced

Details of the annual CPD meeting of the British Veterinary Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine Association (BVRSMA) have recently been announced.

The day will focus on the forelimb, and is open to both vets and vet nurses, as well as physiotherapists from the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Animal Therapy (ACPAT).

As veterinary rehabilitation is under increasing demand, and many vets and vet nurses are keen to learn more about it, BVRSMA is bringing together a range of animal health professionals to share perspective and knowledge on the subject.

The veterinary rehabilitation event is also hoped to develop understanding of the myriad of techniques available and how and when each one should be applied.

Speakers throughout the day will include lead orthopaedic specialist Noel Fitzpatrick, as well as specialist rehabilitation vet and current president of the BVRSMA, Lowri Davies. There will also be practical sessions run by ACPAT physiotherapists.

BVRSMA member Tasmin O’Brian, who is a vet at the SMART Clinic, a rehabilitation referral centre, has organised the CPD event.

"The day is designed to make people think outside the box a little and give a fresh perspective on lameness and rehabilitation," she said. "Attendees should take away something that really will help them every day in practice".

Taking place on October 2 in Quedgeley, Gloucestershire, the CPD meeting will cost £60 for non-members and £80 for members.
