The Veterinary Edge has joined forces with wound management guru Georgie Hollis, to host a two-day CPD on wound management for veterinary nurses in Derby on 18th and 19th May.

The Veterinary Wound Management Conference will be taking place at the Derby County Football Club, where there'll be workshops, demonstrations and discussions on a range of topics, from burns to post-operative care, covering dressing selection and suture techniques, complications and innovations.

There will be practical sessions on bandaging and casting and delegates will be able to choose from up to seven workshops/demonstrations at a time, on subjects ranging from eye care to maggot therapy and laser treatment.

There will also be an exhibition by companies and organisations specialising in this field. 

Organisers say the venue, Pride Park Stadium, is easily accessible by road (there’s masses of free parking) and rail (it’s little more than a 10-minute well-signposted walk from the station); and there’s plenty of accommodation very close by in a Travelodge, Premier Inn, Holiday Inn Express or Penta Hotel.

For veterinary nurses, tickets cost £125 (plus VAT) for the two days or £70 (plus VAT) for one day. For vets, it's £165 for the two days or £90 (plus VAT) for one day.

The price includes a hot buffet lunch each day, morning and afternoon tea, delegate handbook and wi-fi.

Each day will provide seven hours of CPD.
