What to expect in the Vets Cymru programme

Discover a programme curated by veterinary volunteers to support vets and nurses in both large and small animal practice.

Enjoy three inclusive streams, with lectures, case based workshops, and hands-on practicals covering topics such as cardiology, nutrition, nursing, equine and livestock, policy, and many more! All sessions are included with your ticket.

Choose from 39 sessions and earn up to 12 hours of accredited CPD over two days!

Sessions will be taking place in the Penbryn (Medrus 1-4), Hugh Owen (A12-14) and Vet Education Centre (Training and Clinical Skills Rooms) Buildings.

The programme is subject to change and will be updated with further details and learning objectives as speakers plan their session.
