FAB Advice for Veterinary Professionals!

As part of our support for Veterinary practices the FAB Clinicians Veterinary Subcommittee will be running a series of Q and A sessions for veterinary professionals. Each session will focus on a particular topic and after a short introduction we will open up for questions to our panel. You will have the opportunity to discuss principles of investigation and treatment as well as get advice on tricky cases (please make sure you maintain client confidentiality). These sessions are free to join. They are primarily aimed at those working in veterinary practice (vets, nurses, receptionists and support staff), but will also be open to members of FAB Clinicians

These sessions are kindly sponsored by Reconcile
