WORLD-LEADING<br />

VETERINARY EDUCATION<br />

Don’t just take our word for it!<br />

Rob Harry<br />

BVSc MRCVS<br />

Turnover has sky-rocketed since completing the course. I now<br />

anticipate completing approximately 6 TECA surgeries a year at a cost<br />

of £1,650 each, 25 TTA surgeries a year at a cost of £2,750 and 6 TPLO<br />

surgeries a year at a cost of £3,080. These alone add over £97,000<br />

every year to the practice revenue.<br />

Ben Gamsa<br />

BVM&S GPCert(SAS) MRCVS<br />

Due to the tuition I have received at Improve, my clients are benefiting<br />

from not having to be referred elsewhere as I am able to do the<br />

surgeries in-house. I have learnt a lot of new techniques, increased my<br />

knowledge and skills and been able to pass these on to others in my<br />

practice.<br />

Kathryn Carder<br />

BVSc BSc MRCVS<br />

Fantastic lecturer, very knowledgeable and engaging. I learned an awful<br />

lot in a 2-day period and in such a way that I will remember when a<br />

surgical case arises. So grateful to have access to practical learning.<br />

Andreas Manousoudakis<br />

DVM<br />

Overall, the programme exceeded my expectations. It has certainly<br />

improved the care I provide to my patients but it has also helped my<br />

practices to become more profitable because we are now undertaking<br />

many more surgical cases.<br />

Hayley Stenning<br />

BVetMed PGCertSAM MRCVS<br />

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and the speaker was excellent and<br />

very engaging. The small group size definitely helped with the practical<br />

side of the course. The equipment was great also.<br />

Price: £999 + VAT *<br />

This course is for veterinary surgeons who already have some experience of performing<br />

echocardiography in practice or who have attended the two-day next steps course and would like to<br />

enhance their skills. The day will focus on more advanced echocardiographic measurements with an<br />

emphasis on when to use them and interpret them. This highly practical course will revisit optimising<br />

HEAR WHAT OUR<br />

COMMUNITY SAYS<br />

Probably the best<br />

practical CPD I have<br />

ever attended. Would<br />

highly recommend<br />

to others wanting to<br />

improve their skills.<br />

The theory integrated<br />

with the practical<br />

sessions was fantastic<br />

and all the additional<br />

hints and tips to make<br />

life easier for us and<br />

safer for the animals<br />

were brilliant!<br />

Excellent – first<br />

time I have been on<br />

an Improve course,<br />

would like an even<br />

more advanced<br />

course now.<br />

Sara Gaston<br />

BVM&S CertAVP MRCVS - TPLO Masterclass<br />

Excellent course- really enjoyed it. Steve Butterworth was easy to<br />

listen to and very approachable.<br />

Louise Johns<br />

RVN, BSc (Biochem) - Ultrasound Triage for the Emergency Patient<br />

Tom Towey was an excellent teacher. His enthusiasm for the subject<br />

was infectious and I can’t wait to put what I have learned into practice.<br />

There was a good balance of background science and “how to do” and<br />

he pitched it just right.<br />

Daniela Puleo<br />

MRCVS - Masterclass in Canine Endoscopy<br />

Great course! An extremely practical approach that gives you enough<br />

knowledge and skills to start practising endoscopy in your working<br />

clinic. Perfect for those with limited or zero experience in endoscopy.<br />
