This workshop is specifically designed for vets who are new, or those returning to practice, to get you fit for the job. It is also beneficial for veterinarians requiring a nuts and bolts refresher course. You know you have a pretty good memory and know all the important stuff, but HOW do you implement that in the clinical setting. This is the workshop for you.

Along with surgical skills, we have communication and meditation topics every day.

Join us for an intensive 3-days jam packed full of theory and practical sessions from expert tutors. We’ll give you all the support you need to do your job confidently and competently.

1. LEARN ITWith the skills you gain at a VetPrac course, you can dramatically increase your income.

2. BILL ITFor example, if a new procedure you’ve learned bills for $1200, in less than three procedures you’ll have paid for the course that helped you gain that skill.

3. CLAIM ITPlus, you may be able to claim some or all of the cost as professional development or a tax deduction.

Following a break to start her family she returned to the University of Sydney as a lecturer and small animal clinician. It was during this time that she was bitten by the dental bug! Dr Christine achieved her Membership of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists (MANZVCS) in Veterinary Dentistry in 2006, established Sydney Pet Dentistry the following year and has been devoted to providing excellent dental care to the pets of Sydney and its surrounds ever since. Christine has, at various times over the past decade, been President of the Australian Veterinary Dental Society and President of the Dentistry Chapter of the ANZCVS.
