Subjects to be covered in the taught component:

• Pleural and chest wall disorders

This course forms part of the Emergency Medicine and Surgery one-year course but all modules from 1 to 10 are suitable as stand-alone courses. There is also a two-day practical course available on 17^th and 18^th June 2010.

Current interest in small animal accident and emergency medicine and surgery is greater now than ever before. This exciting modular course is dedicated to providing high quality, relevant, clinically useful information for the small animal practitioner. Information that is practically relevant is presented using an approach based around the major organ systems. Interactive discussions and clinical case material will be used to highlight important elements in successful patient management. This course will be of immense value to all veterinary surgeons and particularly those who see emergency cases as part of their regular workload.
