About this course

This event is designed for horse owners, riders and paraprofessionals.

Intellect and incisions - interesting medical and surgical cases 

Speakers Jenny Reed, Lecturer in Equine Internal Medicine, and Alex Hawkins, Lecturer in Equine Surgery, delve into some of the interesting cases we see here at the RVC and discuss how sometimes we need both intellect and incisions to find an answer. 

  • Find out how medics use their intellect to demystify medical cases in the hospital
  • Find out how going under the knife might reveal some clues
  • Hear about some of the weird and wonderful cases we see and how our clinicians can work together to find an answer
  • Q&A with our speakers
