Excellent programme content and speakers as always – best vet cpd available! Really like the space in the proceedings book to make notes.
Katie Thorpe Delegate
I really enjoyed this congress because of the location, organisation and fast paced, full programme of lectures and to be able to make the most of the allocated time off work for cpd purposes. Most of the lectures had concise practical content.
Cristina Casademunt Delegate
What a fantastic event organised by Vetcpd. It was a great honour to be one of your speakers. The location was beautiful, the programme brilliant and I really liked the smaller size of this meeting compared to other events I have attended in recent years. The event dinner was also fabulous with an awesome magician and excellent food. Definitely worth looking at the next event in October if you are looking for face to face CPD this year. Well done to the team behind this meeting.
Kate Murphy Speaker
