This practical two–day hands-on masterclass course will focus on the techniques of both flexible and rigid endoscopy in the dog. The course will provide an overview of selecting and handling endoscopes and cover the techniques used in endoscopy of the upper and lower intestinal tract, the respiratory tract, and the lower urinary tract. You will enjoy the opportunity to perform endoscopy at Improve International’s impressive wet-lab facilities in Sheffield and extensive hands-on opportunities over the two days.

You will be guided through the subject area of flexible endoscopy as well as the techniques and uses of rigid endoscopy (vaginourethrocystoscopy) in the bitch. Both speakers have a wealth of both clinical and teaching experience in their respective fields.

This masterclass course is strictly limited to 12 delegates and offers unrivaled one-to-one mentoring.  The quality and preparation of the clinical material and low delegate ratio will make this an unsurpassed teaching experience.
