NIVA & AVSPNI Joint Autumn Cardiology Meeting – A great success!

October 24, 2019 By Ashley-VetNI

With such highly sought after speakers as Adrian Boswood and Dan Brockman, how could it be anything but a success! A good turnout of vets from all over Northern Ireland came along to hear the two presentations. They also had the opportunity to take part in some practical human CPR training on the day too.

This event also saw the AVSPNI charity draw come to a close with Michael Woodside from Clare Vets winning the HeartSine defibrillator which was very kindly donated by HeartSine. All funds have been raised in aid of Northern Ireland Chest Heart and Stroke and the Freeman Heart and Lung Transplant Association.

AVSPNI & NIVA would like to thank the principle sponsor Boehringer Ingelheim as well as CEVA and IMV who also supported this event.
