NIVA & AVSPNI Joint Autumn Cardiology Meeting – A great success!

By

With such highly sought after speakers as Adrian Boswood and Dan Brockman, how could it be anything but a success! A good turnout of vets from all over Northern Ireland came along to hear the two presentations. They also had the opportunity to take part in some practical human CPR training on the day too.

This event also saw the AVSPNI charity draw come to a close with Michael Woodside from Clare Vets winning the HeartSine defibrillator which was very kindly donated by HeartSine. All funds have been raised in aid of Northern Ireland Chest Heart and Stroke and the Freeman Heart and Lung Transplant Association.

AVSPNI & NIVA would like to thank the principle sponsor Boehringer Ingelheim as well as CEVA and IMV who also supported this event.

Vet Support NI – Here for you!

Did you know . . .?

Vet Support Northern Ireland supporters can come to your practice/place of work and deliver hints and tips on stress management to your team. 

A visit can be booked by contacting [email protected]  and can be scheduled for a time to suit yourselves but it’s a beneficial topic for a spot of lunchtime learning for the whole team.

What we do…As this is a voluntary support network it is outside the capabilities of the volunteers to provide an emergency service and we encourage everyone to be continually aware of the availability of Vetlife a charity who provides a 24/7 phone and email helpline.
