The sixth BVZS satellite meeting provides BSAVA delegates and small animal practitioners in general practice the opportunity to undertake world class continuing professional development in non-domestic species medicine and surgery. The program for the day complements and expands the exotic pet content in the main Congress allowing further development of your skills and understanding. We are progressing this year to a deeper understanding of exotics, presented by experienced and specialist veterinarians. Each lecture will be around an hour and a quarter in length, followed by time for questions and discussion.
The presentations will address the approach to cases seen in small zoo contract work or whilst developing an exotic pet caseload and so will be directly relevant to BSAVA and BVZS members.
