Last week Amy and Emma attended the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA, FECAVA and BSAVA) Congress at the ICC in Birmingham. There was a wide ranging lecture programme for both vets and nurses, and Amy and Emma attended all the nursing stream lectures in veterinary physiotherapy and rehabilitation, covering topics including post-operative rehab and pain management, home exercise programmes and rehab nursing goals.
Vets and Vet Nurses are expected to complete a certain amount of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) every year to keep up to date, and staying at the head of the field is important to all of us at ARC, so an event like WSAVA is a great place to discuss new techniques and equipment and current thinking.
It’s also an ideal opportunity to check out new products and supplies at the trade exhibition, and Emma and Amy were both very impressed with a new range of wet-to-dry towel coats in particular which they think our swimmers will love, so watch this space as new stock should be arriving soon!
