We believe education is key to a better future

Supporting your journey

Empowering surgeons to give them the confidence and skills to improve patients’ lives


// Programmes
 
The range of education programmes and syllabuses we deliver give options to veterinarians to choose courses dependent on stages of their career ranging from those wishing to expand their surgical repertoire into spine surgery to those who are already advanced wishing to take on the most technical of topics and first-of-its-kind procedures

Surgical Training Days

invetra™ pedicle screw course

invetra™ pedicle screw course

A pedicle screw spine stabilisation course introducing the invetra system 

Pedicle screw fixation systems have been standard in human practice for quite some time. Only now though has a system been designed and manufactured from the ground up specifically for the veterinary industry in a 5.5mm and a 3.0mm system.

The course is a varied mixture of theory and practical, but with the focus heavily on the practical aspect. An initial surgery on a real-case 3D model will be undertaken by each participant before moving into the wet-lab. This model will be kept by each attendee.


Day 1:

9.30 - 10.00 Lecture

10.00 - 10.30 Laboratory
Introduction to equipment and application of 4.5mm pedicle screws on the 3D printed model

10.30 - 11.15 Lecture
Application on the lumbosacral spine and lumbar spine

Break

11.30 - 13.00 Laboratory
Approach and placement of pedicle screws in L7-S1 of cadaver lumbosacral stabilisation and fracture of L2-3 fixation

Lunch

14.00 - 15.00 Lecture
Techniques for stabilisation of the thoracic and cervical spine using the invetra™ system

15.00 - 16.45 Laboratory
Thoracic and cervical fixation using the invetra™ system

2-day pedicle screw and advanced neurology

2-day pedicle screw and advanced neurology

A pedicle screw spine stabilisation day introducing the invetra system followed by a second day of advanced neurosurgery subjects and practicals

The course, given in English, is a varied mixture of theory and practical, but with the focus heavily on the practical aspect.

Day 1 involves lectures, dry-lab and wet-lab environment launching the new versatile invetra™ pedicle screw fixation system. During this you will learn about pedicle screw technology, its history, its ease of us and its superiority to pins and PMMA. By starting initial surgery on an anatomically correct 3D printed model, this will then be yours to take away.

Day 2 is then a more varied day covering a variety of topics for surgeons wishing to expand their repertoire. Incorporating some innovative and ground-breaking products this second day is thought-provoking and inspiring.

// Online Academy
 
Not just classroom and facility learning. Becoming a global leader in veterinary education means that we don’t restrict our educational offerings to just on-site practical teaching.

We offer a platform solely dedicated to online education offering an array of objective knowledge tools, webinars, bite-size courses and hubs, many of which are available at no cost allowing you to not be restricted to learn and develop skills to improve the industry.

Also, we are the first animal health company to bring virtual reality training technology to the veterinarians worldwide. RoVR™, the first-of-its-kind training experience, is proven to significantly impact surgical performance and bring together veterinarian healthcare professionals to train from anywhere in the world through remote collaboration.


// Our Instuctors
 
Working alongside world-renowned surgeons, we have brought together a team that have excelled in their careers and have a genuine passion for teaching.

Channeling skills they have learned throughout their careers to delegates in the classroom, once the workshop has finished the support and relationship continues – a value we hold dear.
