"We really have the cream of the feline veterinary profession at ISFM this year" - Nathalie Dowgray, ISFM Head.

In-person congresses will take place in Rhodes and Hong Kong.

The International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM) has opened registration for its 2022 congress series.

In-person congresses will take place in Rhodes and Hong Kong, with a virtual congress option available for those unable to travel. 

The theme for the congress series is 'Feline Fine: How to create harmony between physical health and mental wellbeing in your treatment and management of feline cases', and will explore the relationship between feline emotions and behaviour, alongside neurology, pain-management, infectious diseases and internal medicine. 

Beginning in Rhodes, from 30 June to 3 July, the congress will see speakers including Sarah Heath, Danielle Gunn-Moore, Clare Rusbridge and Matt Gurney present on a variety of topics, with extra masterclasses exploring pain management, neurology and evolving cat friendly skills. 

The second congress in the series will take place in Hong Kong on 22 – 23 November, with speakers including Sarah Heath, Professor Vanessa Barrs and Professor Julia Beatty from The City University Hong Kong, and Paulo Steagall, who pioneered the Feline Grimace Scale pain assessment tool. 

Nathalie Dowgray, Head of ISFM, said: “I can’t wait to get back to seeing everyone in-person. Being joined by such fabulous speakers as Sarah Heath, Danielle Gunn-Moore and Clare Rusbridge as well as Matt Gurney in Rhodes is amazing enough, but we’ll be taking Sarah Heath to Hong Kong where we’ll be joined by Vanessa Barrs, Julia Beatty and Paulo Steagall. 

“We really have the cream of the feline veterinary profession at ISFM this year.”

A virtual congress including all the content from both Rhodes and Hong Kong will be available for free to ISFM members, or for £135 to non-members.
