Renal emergency cases

This one day lecture-based course will focus on management of several conditions of the urinary tract. The course aims to provide participants with the knowledge of how to manage these challenging conditions by use of lectures illustrated with real life case examples. In addition, exciting new treatment strategies for the most seriously affected patient will be described.

This course would be useful CPD for veterinarians preparing for the RCVS CertAVP C modules in small animal medicine, feline medicine, and emergency and critical care, in addition to veterinary surgeons seeing emergency cases or those with an interest in renal disorders.
