The Focus 20 programme in Arthroscopy will appeal to those small animal vets interested in developing their endoscopic skills to diagnose and treat joint diseases.  

You will cover instrumentation for arthroscopy in small animal practice, identify normal arthroscopic anatomy, and diseases that can be diagnosed and managed with arthroscopy of the forelimb and hindlimb. This arthroscopy programme will also help you consider your patient assessment when considering anaesthesia and analgesia. 

The programme will be delivered in our brand-new state-of-the-art training facilities in Swindon as a highly practical course based primarily in the wet lab with supporting lectures and discussions. 

Before attending the programme, you will receive an online module comprising an introduction to arthroscopy. Then you’ll be able to use the latest equipment in the wet-lab facility to test your skills so you can feel confident in your clinical work.
