Autumn 2010 is nearly here...!
BOOK ME IN!
Congenital and hereditary disease in dogs and cats
Cute, aren't they? ..or are they?
This year’s Autumn Conference sees us discuss some of the most difficult areas of veterinary medicine – surgically and ethically!
Congenital diseases and hereditary diseases are a minefield – and to guide us through, we will be joined by a packed list of the foremost experts from the various fields these conditions touch – including surgery, medicine, interventional radiology, diagnostic imaging, genetics and ethics.
We are, of course, surgeons first and foremost – so you can be guaranteed cutting-edge debate on the common conditions. World-class panels on Brachycephalic Airway disease, Urogenital diseases, Portosystemic Shunts and intrathoracic Cardiovascular disease should all whet the appetite – and there’s the traditional lecture from a human paediatric surgeon for the comparative view. We’re particularly pleased to be able to welcome Dr. Chick Weisse, Director of the Interventional Radiology service at the University of Pennsylvania, and Assistant Professor of both Radiology and Surgery at that institution. Always a memorable speaker, Chick will be sharing his experience of this relatively new field with a U.K. audience for the first time. We also welcome to the U.K. Professor Gerhard Oechtering of the University of Leipzig to share his experiences of therapy for Brachycephalic airways.
It shouldn’t all be hard work though – so on the Friday night we’ll be partaking in the traditional Cambridge past-time of punting down the Cam and returning to the De Vere for a three-course Friday-night banquet in a traditional wood-panelled Cambridge College-style hall. Come and join in the fun; partners gladly catered for too!
We hope to see you there!
