The seminar
One day. Practical ideas. Better conversations.
Veterinary Vision welcomes you to the 6th Annual Advances in Veterinary Ophthalmology Seminar 2027. Join us for a thought-provoking day of discussion on topics at the forefront of veterinary ophthalmology. Our panel will be discussing advances in ocular surgery and sharing their personal insights. In addition, we will be inviting them to debate difficult case management in ‘What would you do next?’ and will be looking at rescue options when all does not go according to plan in the operating theatre.
We are delighted to be able to host the meeting at the Rheged Centre, one of Cumbria's prime meeting locations, situated at Junction 40 of the M6 and providing a tiered auditorium with cinema-screen audiovisuals. The venue also provides plenty of space to catch up with colleagues during the breaks. As a result, we have been able to expand the number of delegates, but places are still limited and early registration is advisable.
Please register now to secure your place. We look forward to seeing you in 2027.
