BEVA CPD course explores sino-nasal disease

The British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) will host a new CPD course exploring the diagnosis of sino-nasal disease.

Led by Safia Barakzai, Henry Tremaine, Justine Kay-Smyth and Neil Townsend, the course aims to support experienced equine vets dealing with nasal discharge cases.

The course will be presented through a series of practical sessions, accompanied by case-based learning. Attendees will be guided to improve their oral examination technique and radiographic approach, as well as learning how to make good use of endoscopy and oroscopy.

BEVA says that learners can combined these skills to perform a 'logical, efficient investigation', with better clinical decision-making and fewer unnecessary steps.

The course will take place on Tuesday, 21 July at the University of Surrey. For more information or to book, visit the BEVA website.
