SPVS Snowscene Deadline Draws Near
CPD event will take place in Austrian Alps in 2012.

The Society of Practicing Veterinary Surgeons (SPVS) Snowscene 2012 event is running low on available places due to high demand. This year's event in Hotel Steiner of Obertauern in the Austrian Alps has been so well subscribed that all available flights out of Manchester have been exhausted and only flights out of Gatwick remain. Anyone wishing to attend must register by January 5th, so the SPVS has advised that anyone hoping to attend should book as soon as possible.

This year's event in Hotel Steiner, a luxury 4-star hotel with access to 100km of Alpine pistes, will include fifteen hours of CPD and the opportunity to socialise with many fellow Veterinary Surgeons. It is hoped than those attending will benefit from the thoughts of Mike Guilliard on “Old Chestnuts and Hot Topics in Small Animal Orthopaedics” and Peter Gripper's recommendations on “How to have your cake and eat it”.

The event will run from 10th March to 17th March 2012, and a full list of prices and features of the event are available on the SPVS website. The booking form is available here.

Organised by the Responsible Use of Medicines Alliance Companion Animal and Equine (RUMA CA&E), the initative is supported by a range of cross-sector organisations.

Practices are encouraged to use the campaign to engage the whole practice team and raise awareness of the safe disposal of medicines with clients. Learn how your practice can get involved at rumacae.org.uk
