New surgical support group for animal welfare projects

[Guest guest]

Vet-To-Vet - Surgical Training Group

 

This Australian-based group has been established to provide

personalised, practical instruction in surgical protocols and procedures

of relevance to surgeons and nursing staff working in animal welfare

projects and facilities in developing countries.

 

All VTV consultants hold post-graduate surgical qualifications and are

experienced educators and demonstrators. The founder, Dr Ian Douglas,

has been involved in the training of veterinary personnel in projects in

the Asia-Pacific region for many years, is President of the volunteer

veterinary organisation VetCharity and is currently Director of the

Sikkim Anti-Rabies and Animal Health Programme in India.

 

Course content is tailored to the requirements of the client; all

specialised equipment and medications are provided for the duration of

the course. VTV endeavours to keep the cost of its programmes within the

budget of most animal-welfare organisations, and will assist in efforts

to secure funding if requested.

 

Groups comprising up to 4 veterinarians and/or nurses per VTV consultant

are ideally suited to this intensive training format.
