Equine Arthritis: Diagnosis and New Technology was conceived to bring together not only the treating veterinary surgeons, but also those front line professionals most likely to have that vital first encounter with patient and owner. It will also provide valuable CPD for vets, practitioners and paraprofessionals working with equine arthritis.

It is widely understood that early diagnosis and intervention is key for equine arthritis, not only to prolonging the longevity of the affected animal, but more importantly, to provide prompt and effective pain relief. Degenerative joint disease (DJD) or osteoarthritis is one of the diseases most commonly encountered by equine vets. Results from the 2016 National Equine Health Survey (NEHS) revealed that more than 41% of lameness cases were caused by DJD. With this in mind, the focus of the two day CPD programme will be on key aspects of what we know about equine arthritis, where we are in terms of diagnosis, treatment and management, and where we hope to be in the future.
