- Lower Respiratory Tract Conditions – Lecture & Case Discussions
- Common Cardiac Conditions
- Investigation of the Thin Horse

- Updated on Endocrine Disorders – Lecture & Case Discussions
Between both afternoons, 7 hours of practical sessions will give attendees plenty of opportunity to put theory into practice on live horses and cadaver specimens and to ask questions in small groups (2 – 4 attendees / ultrasound machine), all under the supervision of specialists. Each attendee will rotate through the following practical sessions:
- Gastrointestinal Ultrasound
- Liver/Renal Ultrasound & Biopsy Techniques
- Respiratory Endoscopy incl. BAL, Tracheal & Guttural Pouch Washes, PET Block etc.
- Endocrine Case-Based Discussions
- Ultrasound-guided Spinal Fluid Collection

Andy graduated from Bristol in 1988 and after two years in mixed practice started in ambulatory equine practice in the Midlands. He gained the RCVS CertEP in 1993 before moving to Liphook Equine Hospital in 1994, becoming a partner in 2001. This was followed by the RCVS diploma in equine internal medicine in 2003 and European diploma in equine internal medicine in 2004. Andy has continued to perform a little first opinion ambulatory work although he now mainly works in the new hospital at Liphook with medical in-patients and the diagnostic laboratory. He has recently been appointed as visiting professor at the University of Surrey, Guildford and is involved in the development of a new veterinary school there. Andy’s main professional interests are in endocrine disease, liver disease, dermatology, infectious diseases and most other aspects of internal medicine.
