Large Animal Programme

Large Animal Programme Highlights

In depth surgical sessions include Urogenital surgery; Current advances in orthopaedic surgery; Donkeys, Mules and Minis; Surgery of the foal and The Stifle. These will involve our overseas speakers including Dean Richardson, Jim Schumacher, Dwayne Rodgerson, Rolf Embertson as well as many European colleagues and speakers.

Parallel sessions include The Axial skeleton; Surgical management of neoplasia; and Surgery of the foot. To complement the program, there will be Meet the Expert sessions with our overseas speakers while the residents will no doubt benefit from and enjoy a talk by Graham Munroe on stifle arthroscopy. A new session for 2022 is entitled “What you might not find in the textbooks, or things I learned the hard way” with contributions from Dwayne Rogerson, Rolf Embertson, Jim Schumacher, Warren Schofield,  Peter Clegg and Hans Wilderjans.

Four pre congress labs are planned in the days before the official start of the congress and include upper hind limb lameness, upper respiratory surgery, reproductive surgery and an AO Vet course on large animal complications.
