Graduate Get Together
This module takes place in September in Birmingham.
Each year, we host an event for graduates who have completed or are just starting a graduate programme. We come together to learn, share experiences and have some fun. It’s an action-packed weekend providing an excellent opportunity to attend CPD intertwined with activities. It’s also a great environment for new graduates to connect with their peers and build a support network within independent practices.
Dental Day
This module takes place in July in Central London.
This module covers the basics of routine dentistry and the common problems encountered in first-opinion practice. Graduates will also be taught the latest and safest extraction techniques for dog and cat dentals. The practical aspect of the course allows the graduates to work on cadaver heads to practice their extraction and suturing techniques, with plenty of supervision and practical advice.
ECC
This module takes place in November in Birmingham.
This module will cover a range of emergency topics, from general principles of stabilisation and making use of your in-house equipment, to how to approach specific conditions, for example, a blocked cat and a GDV. The day will also incorporate small group practical sessions, including a CPR workshop in which graduates will work on dummy dogs to develop confidence in decision making, teamwork and leadership skills.
