CONTENT DESCRIPTION
This lecture will cover common non-orthopaedic conditions of the foal which may require surgical intervention, such as umbilical infections, patent urachus, ruptured bladder and hernias. It will focus on case selection, timing of surgery and pre- and post-surgical considerations and prognosis as well as an introduction to the surgical techniques.

She attended veterinary school at Purdue University in the States followed by two years in mixed practice in New England.

This was followed by time as a surgery lecturer at the University of Glasgow’s veterinary school followed by holding the position of the University Equine Surgeon at the University of Cambridge. She then spent seven years in private practice as the surgeon at the Valley Equine Hospital in Lambourn, Berkshire which had a hospital population of racehorses, performance horses and pleasure horses and is currently an external surgical consultant to multiple practices.
She has presented veterinary presentations at national and international meetings in over twenty countries, has taught numerous CPD courses for other veterinary surgeons on specialised equine subjects and was an examiner for the RCVS certificates six times.
