Want to set up journal club in your practice? This course will cover the approach to sourcing literature, critically appraising journal articles and how to set up your own journal club.Typical journal clubs focus on simply summarising findings of an article and are designed to raise awareness of recent literature. This 5-week Webinar Plus course will develop the approach to critically evaluating journal articles and involve an in-depth discussion by tutors and delegates on selected articles relevant to small animal practice with a bias toward emergency medicine. Articles will be selected to cover different aspects of small animal practice (e.g. surgery, diagnostic imaging, internal medicine and emergency and critical care). Tutors will critically evaluate articles for their merits and limitations and involve delegates in that process. Discussion forums will explore each article to a higher level focusing on critical analysis rather than summary of findings. Delegates will then be able to set up journal clubs in their own practices that use the outlined approach. Why do this course? Delegates will be guided in an approach to critical analysis and appraisal of published veterinary literature. This will involve understanding principles of study design, basic statistical methods and integration of evidence into practice. By using the described approach delegates will be able to set up journal clubs in their own practices and make best use of the literature to guide clinical decision making.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to Haematology This comprehensive course will give you the basics you need for interpretation of the most common haematological disorders in dogs and cats. Participants will learn how to review blood smears and develop a logic diagnostic approach to the alterations of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. All this will be achieved through a case-based approach. Clinical case challenges and diagnostic algorithms will also be provided to help you understand the concepts presented and to consolidate your knowledge. MODULE 1: Sampling techniques, overview of the different types of haematology analysers and approach to blood smear examination. MODULE 2: Red blood cell morphological abnormalities and diagnostic approach to anaemia. MODULE 3: The white blood cells: morphological and numerical alterations. MODULE 4: Platelets and their most common related disorders. Throughout the 3 weeks of the course, you will also be presented with clinical cases to work through, that we invite you to analyse and discuss in the classroom forum. Please use the forum as much as possible to discuss the course material and to ask questions. Better understanding will be achieved through a dialogue and sharing your experiences with other delegates is invaluable. Who the course is aimed at: This course is mainly intended for general practitioners but veterinary nurses with a special interest in lab works and veterinary biomedical scientists or lab technicians who would like to learn more about the pathophysiology behind the haematological disorders are welcome to participate. Vet CPD Online Tutored Courses take approximately 8 hours to complete and can be completed at your own pace and at any time over the course’s 3-week period. There are downloadable course notes and clinical cases to work through, plus – what makes our courses unique – a busy clinical forum where questions and answers are posted and where delegates have access to the instructor for the duration of the course. This always generates some lively discussions and the idea that no one should leave a course with any unanswered questions. At the end of the course there is a final exam plus a Certificate of Completion for your CPD records. All our Tutored Online CPD Courses are written and taught by an expert in the relevant field. The tutors for this course are: Francesco Cian DVM, DipECVCP, FRCPath, MRCVS RCVS Specialist in Veterinary Clinical Pathology, Batt Laboratories, Coventry, United Kingdom Paola Monti DVM, DipACVP (Clinical Pathology), FRCPath, MRCVS, RCVS Specialist in Veterinary Clinical Pathology, Dick White Referrals, Six Mile Bottom, United Kingdom
