About this course

This brand-new course aimed at experienced vets is designed to sharpen your diagnostic skills, expand your depth of knowledge of treatment options and improve patient outcomes, whether you’re working with a hairy-legged cob or a competition horse!

You’ll get hands-on to hone your confidence in localising lameness, gain a deeper understanding of ultrasound, MRI and CT scans as diagnostic tools and master ultrasound-guided injections. Our expert speakers will use case discussions to share their knowledge of advanced image interpretation and case management options including rehabilitation strategies.

You will leave the course having enhanced your diagnostic and treatment skills and boosted your confidence in managing digital flexor tendon sheath cases.

We are also offering an exclusive bundle deal, which combines our Digital Flexor Tendon Sheaths and Problematic Stifle courses. Over the two days you will get hands-on building on common knowledge of complex hindlimb lameness. This bundle also includes a course evening meal. To find out more and book the bundle, click here.
