Pre-Purchase Examination Core Skills Workshop

These workshops are designed for those who, perhaps, do not spend all their professional time working with horses. Previous delegates have ranged from new graduates, wishing to extend their reach with regard to equine practice, right through to senior members who have felt the need to update their knowledge. The subject covers an area, which has caused much concern in recent years, hence the inclusion of a speaker from the Veterinary Defence Society. The practical programme will include examining horses with particular reference to wind, eyes, heart, ageing, flexion tests, conformation, intended use and much more… NB: you will need your ophthalmoscope, stethoscope and suitable outdoor clothing.

KEY LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
• Be able to confidently perform a five stage vetting
• Be able to recognise and interpret cardiac, respiratory, and ophthalmic abnormalities.
• Be able to assess gait abnormalities
• Understand the pitfalls of Pre Purchase Examination
• Be able to recognise and communicate contentious findings
