https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/non-clinical-questions/3569/veterinary-ireland-winter-conference I&#39;m speaking with Danielle Gunn-Moore in Cork, Ireland for VICAS. More info here . It should be a good weekend. I&#39;m running the wet-lab session on echo, which I&#39;ve not organised or planned yet and wondered what vets in practice need out of a courseen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/8837?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:37:05 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:90e7038f-384d-429c-9e80-8bc1930034a7Mike Martin<p>Sounds expensive all right. I&#39;m surprised. I note membership of VICAS is expensive too. But if you are a member of a FECAVA associated society (click <a target='_blank' target="_blank" href="http://www.fecava.org/pub/index.php?view=17">here</a>), you would get membership rates. BSAVA is FECAVA linked. But also a number of European Specialist groups (<a target='_blank' target="_blank" href="http://www.fecava.org/pub/index.php?view=16">here</a>). Some of the Specialist groups are cheaper to join too.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/8832?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:33:49 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:cb5b6f41-6f05-4293-bcd1-322f927323a6macflea<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>i was very interested in going until i saw the price , unfortunately not a member of veterinary ireland ,&nbsp; for the 3 days lectures and wet lab nearly a 1000 pounds excluding accommodation and flights, and i live a mile from rochestown park hotel ,&nbsp;add another few hundreds for sundries,&nbsp;eventhough cpd in the uk is expensive , i think this is a bit excessive compare to the london show and bsava in birmingham, a lot better value is got in the uk . i think veterinary ireland are overpricing things now since this new compulsory cpd has been introduced to ireland.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
