Merial encourages SQPs to go wild!
02/06/2010 by Stephen Dawson.
On 21st July 2010 Merial is running an SQP training event with a difference. Based at Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire, the event combines equine, companion and production animal Continuing Professional Development at one venue.
Key speakers
With the roar of lions echoing in your ears, you will be able to learn from top professionals in the field, including Professor Jacqui Matthews from Moredun Research Institute Edinburgh University, Dr David Homer from Merial Australia and Hannah Lester from Ridgeway Equine Laboratory. The event provides a great opportunity for CPD, keeping you up-to-date with changes and research in the world of equine parasitology. Following the equine session, you will be able to choose between presentations on companion animals or production animals, broadening your knowledge of these ever-changing sectors. This event qualifies for 26 AMTRA CPD points.
Go wild
Following the event, each attendee will have the opportunity to explore Whipsnade Zoo. Home to more than 2,500 animals, many of which are endangered in the wild, the zoo’s impressive 600 acre site provides a fantastic showcase for some of the most amazing animals in the world and will be a memorable afternoon to follow the technical presentations.
