Having some fun during the workshop.

18/03/2024

Thank you to all of you attended the Luxating Patella and Modified De Angelis Workshop held in Far North Queensland this weekend. We're a small group and it was a fun time and hopefully you all go away feeling better equipped and more confident to dip your surgical toes into these procedures.
Dr Guy Bird, a veterinary specialist from Queensland Veterinary Specialists, has given his support with the course content as we put it together and it was extra special to have him fly up and support us in person.
And special thanks go out to Knight Benedikt for supplying the surgical equipment, including the power tools, to allow us to run this workshop.
Right now I am on my way to Tasmania for a 2 week leave, and when I get back I will advertise the next two workshops planned for this year.

CHRISTMAS BONUS!

By popular demand, we have added a bonus 3 hour session to the Introduction to Patella workshop being held Sunday March 17th \, 2024. The extra 3 hours will be held on Saturday afternoon March 16th and cover an Introduction to Modified De Angelis. There will be a 2 hour discussion session followed by a one hour demonstration on performing a Modified De Angelis. The surgical approach is similar to the approach for an uncomplicated patella luxation hence the decision to combine the two workshops. You will be given the opportunity to practice both procedures for yourself on the Sunday. The bonus is there is no extra registration fee for this extra component!

The course is capped at 8 attendees so please register your interest early.

Please contact Kay Eccleshare at [email protected] to receive further information and a more detailed timetable and course content plus a registration form should you wish to attend.
