Veterinary Instrumentation

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting our second RVN Roadshow of the year in Edinburgh.
The day consisted of lots of hands-on CPD, with some lectures mixed in, and a guest appearance from the day's sponsors, Samaxia Ltd.

Our Quiz winner on the day, with an outstanding 10/10 score, was the lovely Chirsty Macauley from Highland Vet Referrals & Emergencies - well done!

Next is Northern Ireland in September!
