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 />
the standard right-sided echocardiographic views and then concentrate on the left-sided standard<br />
views and Doppler echocardiography.<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 />

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 />
