Mark Your Diaries for Saturday 16th May – at the Sheraton Hotel, Athlone

Open to all vets and students

The recently established Irish Society of Veterinary Dermatology – led by renowned vets and dermatology specialists Aoife Morrow, Darragh O’Hanlon and Joan Hillan, all certified in Dermatology, has organised an inaugural event to raise awareness of the increasing presentation of dermatological problems in canines.

“It’s a one day conference – a deep dive into dermatology with Edinburgh based expert speaker Tim Nuttall,” explained Joan Hillan. “Tim will deliver all the sessions, each followed by Q&A opportunities.

“There will be a conference dinner in the evening, and possibly a bit of a pub quiz.

“Packages are available with the Sheraton Hotel and we would encourage vets throughout Ireland – north and south to book in – maybe even make a weekend of it.”

A day tickets costs £45 or €50.

Likewise the evening ticket which includes a four course dinner with wine and entertainment costs £45 or €50 – which is incredible value for both!

Discounted hotel rates at the Sheraton for early bird room rates – with full spa access – are also available.

There will also be trade stands – with the organisers delighted with the fantastic support from sponsors such as MDS, Zoetis, LABOLIN, Elanco, nextmune uk, Royal Canin, Hills and Dechra.
