K9 Medicine with Dr Graham Swinney

In this event, course-presenter Graham Swinney will cover a broad range of topics, using an interactive and case-based approach, concentrating on disease conditions where there has been a shift in emphasis, either in terms of diagnosis, or in relation to therapy. In this seminar is a pot pouri of body systems, with lots of common, and some so not-so-common disease conditions. Importantly, you will be updated about new trends in diagnosis and management, including new laboratory tests (some promising, some not-so-promising!), new approaches and also new clinical entities.

Wildlife with Alex Rosenwax, David Phalen, Shane Raidal, Mark Krockenberger, Mike Cannon, Larry Vogelnest, Anne Fowler, Damien Higgins, David Vella

Open to both vets and vet nurses, this event features a dynamic and interesting program with a variety of wildlife and avian experts from around Australia. There will be something for all clinicians—from people who do a great deal of wildlife work and are comfortable and competent with sick birds, to general practitioners who are keen to learn a bit more and get into wildlife or avian work. Learn to be more competent with sick birds, reptiles and marsupials. Speakers range from experienced private practitioners, zoo vets and pathobiologists to avian specialists and wildlife pathologists.

Canine Surgery and Medicine with Steve Holloway, Peter Bennett, Chris Preston, Linda Beer, Linda Abraham, Charles Kuntz, Richard Woolley

Building on a successful symposium in the same discipline area we conducted last year, we have assembled a team of talented presenters who will cover a range of different disease conditions of dogs. A broad cross section of disease processes and body systems will be presented including cases that cross boundaries—combining medicine, surgery, clinical pathology, diagnostic imaging and laboratory medicine.

Updates in Feline Surgery and Medicine: A Valentine Charlton Symposium with Fran Musca, Simon Lemin, Natashia Evans, Marcus Gunew, Rhett Marshall, Richard Malik.

The PGF’s proud tradition of feline continuing education this year introduces a new team of talented tutors in a comprehensive program directly relevant to your practice. All but one is employed in feline-only practice, and all work in large, busy facilities that see primary accession and also referred cases. Their topics reflect this melding of common disease conditions, more exotic entities and ‘new’ syndromes. There’s something for everyone—from solid conceptual approaches, to the management of common and important cat diseases, including Squamous cell carcinoma, the cholangiohepatitis complex, Hepatic lipidosis, Diabetes mellitus, Megacolon, Pertineal hernia and Hyperthyroidism and its treatment with radioiodine and surgery.

More novel concepts that will be explored are the use of ultrasound in working up lower and urinary tract conditions of cats, the diagnosis and management of ureteric obstruction (are you missing this difficult diagnosis?), Hyperparathyroidism (are you also missing this entity, which is eminently treatable and more common than you think), unique features of critical care medicine applicable to feline patients, and new concepts in diagnostic reasoning and clinical decision-making.

Clinical Immunology with Michael Day, John Angles, Steven Holloway
Download the brochure for more information (PDF 386 Kb)

Over five days Clinical Immunology:  More than just antibodies will explore the most rapidly advancing and exciting field of companion animal medicine. Since publication of the canine (and more recently the feline) genome there have been major advances in understanding the immune response in these animal species. This in turn has led to translation of this knowledge to new immunodiagnostics, vaccines and therapeutic approaches to immune-mediated disease. The course will commence with an update on advances in basic immunology and immunopathology, and then follow a systems-based approach discussing the major immune-mediated diseases affecting the blood, skin, kidney, joints, muscle, central nervous system, endocrine system, respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. Sessions will be devoted to immunodeficiency and immune system neoplasia and the very practical applications of immunology in immunodiagnostics, immunotherapeutics, transfusion medicine and vaccination. At the beginning and end of each day of the course, interactive clinical case studies will be presented to put into context the material covered and highlight the practical relevance of good understanding of immunology.The Course Leader is Professor Michael Day from the University of Bristol in the UK who is an internationally recognised authority on canine and feline immunology and author of the text Clinical Immunology of the Dog and Cat which has been translated into six languages and is now in the Second Edition. He is supported by leading internists who specialise in aspects of clinical immunology: Dr John Angles (Animal Referral Hospital, Strathfield South) and Dr Steven Holloway (University of Melbourne).
