Our popular event returns to Warwick and includes a pre-event dinner the evening before a packed day of first class speakers
Friday 22 November
Speakers already confirmed:

Tom became a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care in 2018 and joined the faculty at the RVC’s Queen Mother Hospital for Animals where his interest focussed on extracorporeal therapies, including dialysis, therapeutic plasma exchange and clinical perfusion. He obtained his European diplomate and RCVS Specialist status in 2019 and between 2018 and 2024 he was the lead criticalist for the cardiothoracic surgery cases. Tom remains at the RVC where he is currently a senior lecturer in ECC.
