*NEW* Fully Online - Anaesthesia and analgesia in small animals: a case-based approach

The evening is kindly sponsored by Zoetis the world leading animal health company.

The evening will take place in the main building Lecture Theatre, Leahurst Campus, CH64 7TE Registration from 7pm, buffet and refreshments provided.

Via interactive lectures, solidify your knowledge on the complexities of the "third brain" (the gastrointestinal system). During this one-day course we will discuss chronic enteropathies in cats and dogs, dive into the microbiome, gulp down dysphagia, poke the pancreas and settle the stomach with gastroprotectants. A complete transit of the gastrointestinal tract!

2 Day Workshop -8th & 9th September 2025

Join us for this popular 2 day workshop. 

This two day workshop covers topics relating to the Foundations of Advanced Veterinary Practice module or ‘A-module’, the first module in the CertAVP program.  The topics are highly applicable to everyday practice and the workshop is open to all, not just those enrolled on the modules.  For more information please contact our team at vpuoffice@liverpool.ac.uk.

Through a series of presentations, workshops, and interactive group work we will stimulate you to think about making clinical decisions in context, managing mistakes, improvements in practice and 'caring and killing' in practice. You will leave with ideas about how to approach these and similar topics in your reflective writing for the Cert AVP and your practice in general.

Can be booked as a two day workshop or 1 day.

Lunch and refreshments provided.
