The content of the Mini Series will help me very much in my work in practice. It will give me confidence to approach cases in a logical way and reach a working diagnosis and treatment plan, whilst recognising where specialist advice and referral is appropriate.
12 months access to recordings and course materials is included. Please note that these are webinar recordings and not live events. Full details on how to access the Mini Series will be emailed to you.
Thoroughly enjoyed the course. I found Louise an interesting speaker who was able to hold my attention. The most useful part for me was Session 1. I felt a bit unsure regarding what was normal and what advice to give to owners. I also found the part about resuscitating puppies useful as we have been using old protocols in my practice. I am going to use what I have learnt to draw up new protocols for the practice with regards to when a whelping bitch needs seen etc
