Dick White Referrals Workshops Following the success of the Dick White Referrals Workshops run at last year’s London Vet Show, senior clinicians from DWR will be presenting more practical information in their dedicated CPD room on the first floor.

On Thursday 15th November, they will be running two half-day sessions, aimed at providing up-to-date clinical information using an interactive discussion format: 9.00 - 12.00 Coping with abdominal crises 14.00 - 17.00 Managing multiple injuries in dogs and cats Each half-day session will deal with the decision-making and the implementation of management strategies from presentation of challenging cases to hospital discharge.

Last year, the practical workshop topics were over-subscribed and this year, once again, places will be limited.

Early reservation is therefore highly recommended.
