Programme Overview
The 2008 WSAVA/FECAVA Congress will be held in the Royal Dublin
Society Convention and Exhibition Centre. The RDS founded in 1731
to promote the development of agriculture, arts, science and industry.
It is fitting that a Veterinary Congress promoting the advancement
of veterinary medicine, veterinary nursing and veterinary management
should be held here.
The scientific programme includes state of the art lectures and more than 200 lectures from 70 different speakers. The lectures are designed to provide the most recent information on current topics of clinical interest from world renowned veterinary scientists and clinicians in more than 20 different disciplines.
Lectures will be delivered at three different levels; advanced/specialist, general companion animal and new to/refresher companion animal medicine. Renowned international speakers include:
- Simon Platt (neurology)
- Michael Schaer (Canine and Feline Medicine)
- Margie Scherk (Feline Medicine)
- Peter Irhke (Dermatology)
There will also be two days of free communications and one day of pre congress CE events; feline medicine, emergency care and avian medicine.
The wide range of continuing education opportunities offered will not only be educational but also the Congress will provide a venue for renewal of old acquaintances and the creation of new collaborations and friends.
We will explore interesting subjects in the areas of Canine and
Feline Medicine and Surgery, Ophthalmology , Cardiology, Neurology,
Exotics, Oncology, Dermatology, Infectious Diseases and Animal Behaviour and
Welfare.

Veterinary and Veterinary Nursing professions have such a high incidence
of stress and suicide and what can be done to prevent this.
VETERINARY NURSING CONFERENCE
On the Saturday and Sunday Veterinary Nurses can attend a conference
which will be practical as well as informative for the backbone
of every small animal practice. There will be "How To Sessions",
sessions on Marketing, ideas on what to do to grow the practice,
Refresher courses that would also interest trainees studying for
exams and much more.
