Statistics course for vets by Professor Bland

2011-08-27T14:04:59Z

Dear SAMSoc colleagues,

Many will remember the talk Prof Martin Bland gave at our meeting last year. His secretary has asked me to post the following advert for a course on statistics for vets this October (four day) entitled 'Introduction to Statistics for Vets', to be delivered by Professor Bland himself at the
University of York. Attached is the flyer.

Regards,

Stijn.

Research survey on lymphoma

2011-07-05T13:49:33Z

Dear Colleagues,

We are conducting a survey of veterinary surgeons to try and establish some baseline facts about the treatment of canine lymphoma. We would be most grateful if you would complete the following questionnaire.

The questionnaire is short and simple and should take you no more than 10 minutes to complete. Needing no specific case details, it does not require you refer to clinical records. Furthermore it requires no case follow up at all. If you prefer you can save your responses and return to the survey later, though it is very short.

Your help is extremely important to the success of our study, and we very much appreciate your time and co-operation.

To take the survey, please use the following link:-

Many thanks indeed in anticipation of your help

Yours faithfully

Efficacy of Protexin Pro-Kolin Enterogenic in conjunction with ronidazole in the treatment of T.foetus in cats with diarrhoea

A study is underway to evaluate the efficacy of Protexin Pro-Kolin Enterogenic in conjunction with ronidazole in the treatment of T.foetus in cats with diarrhoea. Referring vets who have diagnosed T.foetus by PCR are asked to contact Professor Danielle Gunn-Moore or Stephanie Lalor at University of Edinburgh Hospital for Small Animals using the contact details below to discuss enrolment of cats into the study.

Petplan Charitable Trust PhD Study
to Investigate Feline Infectious Peritonitis-Specific Nucleotide Motifs

A three-year study, leading to a PhD, is being funded by the Petplan Charitable Trust and is available to commence on 1^st February 2011 in the School of Veterinary Sciences, Langford at the University of Bristol. The aim of the project is to define nucleotide sequence motifs in feline coronaviruses (FCoVs) associated with feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) and to then develop a diagnostic test for the confirmation of FIP. The applicant will gain extensive experience in molecular-based techniques and bioinformatic analysis. Furthermore, the applicant will receive training in the design, conduct and presentation of research. Practical work will be done in the School of Veterinary Sciences, Langford and the School of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Bristol. The work will be jointly supervised by Professor Stuart Siddell and Drs Chris Helps and Séverine Tasker, supported by collaborators both within the University of Bristol and in other Universities. Good computer skills are essential, and some experience of molecular research and feline medicine is desirable. The successful applicant will have a high level of literacy and numeracy, good organisation skills and a willingness to learn and develop research skills to a high standard. The successful applicant will also have excellent communication skills and confidence in making contact with cat owners and veterinary surgeons.

Applicants must possess, or expect to obtain, a first class, or good upper second class, degree in a biological related subject, or a degree in a veterinary science, and be able to demonstrate a clear interest in FIP. This project is available to citizens of a number of European countries (including the UK) who have been resident in the UK for a period of 3 years or more.

Informal enquiries about the project are encouraged and can be made to Dr Séverine Tasker (email: s.tasker@bristol.ac.uk).

To apply, please send a CV, cover letter, and the names and addresses of two referees to Alison Foxwell, Head of Department’s Office, School of Veterinary Sciences, Langford House, Langford, North Somerset, BS40 5DU (email: cvs-hod-office@bristol.ac.uk), quoting reference SCH/10/09, by December 15^th 2010
