One-day CPD courses are regularly run and are well-received by delegates. The aim is to equip large animal vets with the ability to perform a competent post mortem examination of cattle and sheep, to recognise gross post mortem findings associated with common causes of death, and gain knowledge of the sampling requirements to confirm suspected diagnoses. Disease pathogenesis, which makes understanding of disease processes, is also a major feature. CPD days comprise:
Registration, Introductions and Breakfast.
Morning Practical Post Mortem session of lambs, ewes, calves, and older cattle to demonstrate PME technique and appropriate sample collection, handling and subsequent dispatch to the laboratory (where appropriate) for cost-effective testing. Pen side testing where appropriate.
