This may be medication to treat a disease, alleviate pain, prevent a disease or anaesthetics to enable us to treat a patient.

Small Mammal Pathology Through the Lens of Innovation
Sandra Dawson BSc BVMS FRCPath MRCVS
Small mammals are popular as pets and people are increasingly knowledgeable about their husbandry and care. It is therefore likely that many small mammals will experience a higher quality of life and longer lifespan, meaning that they are more likely to present at veterinary practices for examination in the same way as dogs and cats. At NationWide Laboratories we are compiling data from surgical biopsies submitted to the laboratory. Specially selected cases will be presented using our new 3DHISTECH PANNORAMIC® 1000 RX high-end, extra fast and super-efficient slide digitalization system. This presentation will review the range of lesions we see in some of our most common small mammal pets at NationWide Laboratories.
Research partner: Dr. Alison M. Lee BSc MVB MRCVS DipACVP

This webinar will demonstrate the use of FAST scanning techniques in ECC scenarios. It will cover what we are looking at on the ultrasound screen along with case based scenarios that can be applied in clinical practice as well as building up your image library of normal and abnormal findings. Ultrasound is hugely under utilized and by using this more it can benefit the patient care we offer as veterinary professionals as well as having a positive impact on patient outcomes.

Managing hypotension under general anaesthesia
Stacey Parker RVN, ISFMCert (FN), NCert (Anaesth) and (Dent), MBVNA
So, I have given a fluid bolus what is next? Unfortunately, hypotension is a common side effect of general anaesthesia, that can be incredibly detrimental to our patient in both the short and long term. We may have improved their health and wellbeing through performing surgery but must ensure we do not harm any other part of the patient whilst doing so. This webinar will talk us through trouble shooting monitoring blood pressure under general anaesthesia. We will walk through different causes of hypotension and steps we can take to prevent it occurring. If it cannot be prevented, we will talk through how to treat it, covering careful use of fluids, analgesia, local anaesthesia, and supportive drugs including vasopressors and anticholinergics.
Friday 10th February | 20:00 – 21:00 GMT | Cardiology

Using a combination of evidenced-based medicine and practical cases, find out how you can get the most from your stethoscope and know if, and when, to refer.
