3 lateral wall resections at a cost of<br />

Veselin Vasilev, PhD, MRCVS<br />
Small Animal Surgery delegate<br />
“The acquired knowledge and skills played a huge role in daily practice. The information<br />
about the detailed knowledge of the variety of surgical pathology, the appropriate<br />
approaches in diagnosis and the choice of a surgical solution learned during the course<br />
gave a real opportunity to improve the standard of services in the clinic, perfecting the<br />
surgical protocols and facilitated the process of making adequate and correct decisions.”<br />
Dr Magdalena (Maggie) Doherty<br />
Small Animal Medicine delegate<br />
“I felt that the modular training structure it offered would be a good fit with my workload<br />
and the content linked very well to my daily experience in practice, the mix of training<br />
methods was another attraction as it seemed to support all styles of learning.”<br />

Andreas Manousoudakis DVM<br />
Small Animal Surgery delegate<br />
“There’s no doubt that the programme<br />
is challenging, especially when you are<br />
working full-time, but I planned my<br />
time carefully and my colleagues and<br />
family were supportive. By the end<br />
of the second year, I could feel much<br />
greater fluency in my surgery and my<br />
confidence and knowledge had both<br />
increased significantly. In practice, I<br />
was undertaking surgical cases which<br />
would previously have been assigned to<br />
another colleague or referred and I was<br />
able to provide support to my team and<br />
share my knowledge with colleagues.”<br />
Fionn Peter Latooij, BSc.<br />
(Hons.) VetPath BVetMed<br />
MRCVS<br />
Small Animal Surgery delegate<br />
“Without exaggeration, I can safely<br />
say it has helped me a lot. It has<br />
helped my confidence with all my<br />
routine surgical procedures, but<br />
I’ve also undertaken surgeries that<br />
I used to refer (and completed<br />
successfully). I have been able to<br />
offer my clients a wider range of<br />
options in-house, and being more<br />
financially viable than a referral has<br />
saved animals’ lives.”<br />
