I attended this course and it was just<br />
what I needed to give me the<br />
confidence to get back into practice<br />
after 4 years out. The online modules<br />
which come with it are excellent -<br />
available to watch when you choose<br />
and packed with the right level of<br />
information. I would definitely<br />
recommend this to any vet who is<br />
looking to get back into practice.
