BVNA/BSAVA NI Congress 2012 – Speakers announced
Guest Speakers specialising in Endocrinology have been announced for this year's BVNA/BSAVA Northern Ireland Congress. The Northern Ireland Companion Animal Weekend will be held in the Roe Park Resort in Limavady, and an outstanding program is promised. Furthermore, musical entertainment will be provided by 'The Fat, the Bald and the Thirsty'.
A practical programme of valuable CPD is scheduled, and it is hoped that the programme will refresh attendees' knowledge of the basics of endocrinology and develop understanding of a range of complex conditions that will have immediate benefit in practice. In light of the frequency with which endocrinological cases occur in practice, this is an area in which further study will prove valuable.
NI conference regulars will notice the new format for our weekend, which is designed to allow the maximum number of lectures into just two days - giving better value in these cash-strapped times.
The guest speakers are:
