2020 will see us back in Edinburgh, at the brilliant Royal Dick School of Vet Studies.
We are once again offering world class rabbit specific CPD from a host of Specialist Educators.
We have the ever popular workshops on Friday, please book soon if you don’t want to miss out as places are limited.
We have a mix of essential and advanced lectures on Saturday for the clinical stream. Sunday sees the return of our
popular Rabbit Behaviour Day, which is not to be missed and was a sell out last time.
Friday 19th June 2020
The afternoon is a wet lab, hands on practical workshop, using dental and intubation equipment. It will include a lecture element and delegates will be able to ask questions relevant to them, in this small group and informal session.
