BCF launch free online equine CPD videos
Free online equine CPD videos launched
Videos provide opportunity to earn a one-hour CPD certificate

Leading veterinary imaging-provider BCF Technology, has created a series of free learning videos for equine veterinarians. The videos, created in association with BEVA, explain step-by step how to perform an ultrasound examination of the equine distal limb.

The video series aims to provide solid knowledge of the basic principles and techniques involved in acquiring and interpreting diagnostic quality ultrasound images of the equine distal limb, with a particular focus on the soft tissue structures of the palmar metacarpus and plantar metatarsus, and also the palmar and plantar pastern region.

Once the video series has been complete, there is an opportunity to earn a one-hour CPD certificate by completing a short self-assesment quiz.

Creator Ben Sullivan BVSc MRCVS said: "The aim of the videos is to help any vet gain at east a basic knowledge of ultrasonography in their particular field. They provide a good starting point for people new to ultrasound, or a refresher for those who haven't used it in a while."

For more information and to watch the videos visit http://www.uk-ireland.bcftechnology.com/learning/equine/cpd-training-courses/equine-distal-limb-online-training-course.
