CPD Lecture Series for Veterinary Professionals
Partners in Care
Our Partners in Care lecture series is offered to veterinary professionals to provide high quality and relevant CPD with our specialists throughout the year. Covering a range of topics, we design the lectures for vets and vet nurses based on what they want to learn.
Our lectures are held at either our Orthopaedic and Neurology hospital in Eashing, in our lecture theatre or our Oncology and Soft Tissue hospital in Guildford, in our Skills Lab. We provide tea, coffee and pizza on arrival and both rooms are airconditioned for your comfort.

Orthopaedics and Neurology
Canine idiopathic epilepsy has an estimated prevalence of 0.62% in primary veterinary practice and as such is one of the most common chronic neurological diseases. Descriptions of “epilepsy of unknown origin…where no symptom characteristic of any other condition has as yet presented” can be found in early veterinary textbooks and although our knowledge is now considerably greater we are still a long way from preventing or curing this enigmatic disease. This lecture aims to empower the veterinary surgeon with a practical and useful approach to difficult epileptic cases.

Functional rehabilitation combines the benefits of strength, stability, flexibility, balance and coordination, and endurance. In addition to these key elements, there is a requisite for a physical modification that ultimately enhances the coordination between muscular and nervous systems. A major component of functional rehabilitation is core stability which can be defined as the restoration or facilitation of the ability of the neuromuscular system to control and protect the spine from injury or re-injury. This lecture will aim to demonstrate how valuable a holistic approach is from a rehabilitation point of view and how this can be integrated into a patients care pathway.
