Two hours of free, interactive CPD for vets and veterinary nurses: small-group case discussion with our clinicians, plus mulled wine.

Join us at South East Vet Referrals in Sevenoaks for an evening of CPD built around conversation rather than a lecture.

Instead of one speaker at the front of a room, you will move in a small group of three or four between four clinical stations, spending 15 minutes at each. Every station opens with a short, focused talk. Then the time is yours: bring your own cases, ask the questions you would normally save for a phone call, and hear how colleagues in other practices approach the same problems.

It is two hours of CPD, it is free, and there will be festive nibbles and mulled wine.

The stations

Oncology, with Dr Sarah Mason, Specialist in Oncology and Radiation Oncology. Mast cell tumours: when would an oncologist like to hear about a suspicious lump, before you sample it or after?

Referral medicine, with Dr Victoria Neale, Referral Medicine Clinician. Immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia.

Ophthalmology, with Dr Richard Everson, Specialist in Ophthalmology. Corneal ulcers.

Neurology station. Pain in the back!

You will leave with

Two hours of CPD, with a certificate emailed to you after the event.

Answers on your own cases from four clinicians in a single evening.

A clearer picture of when to pick up the phone about a case, and what is useful to have ready when you do.

Names and faces at your local referral centre that you can call on.

This evening is for you if

You are a vet or veterinary nurse, in any practice. You would rather talk through real cases than sit through slides. You want CPD that fits into a weekday evening.

This evening is not a formal lecture, and nobody will be put on the spot. You do not need to bring a case to take part. You are just as welcome to listen.

Why this format

In a lecture, most questions go unasked. Around a table of three or four, with the clinician sitting alongside you, it is much easier to ask the question you actually have. That is the whole idea of the evening.

Coming from further afield?

You are very welcome. We expect colleagues to join us from practices an hour or more away, and the timings are set with that in mind: arrive from 7pm, the stations finish at 8.30pm, and you can be on your way home by 9pm.

Book your place

Places are free and limited, so please book now. If your plans change, please cancel your ticket on Eventbrite so we can offer the place to a colleague and keep our catering numbers accurate.
