With equine infectious disease outbreaks on the rise, not only across Europe and the UK, biosecurity has never been more critical. To help equine teams implement effective biosecurity measures and protect horse health, HORIBA UK is hosting a free to attend CPD webinar on 3rd April at 7.30pm featuring Cassie Woods (RVN Cons) CertNCS, Equine Nurse and Partner at Lower House Equine Clinic in Shropshire who will share her expertise and knowledge in biosecurity.
Infectious diseases can spread easily and rapidly, significantly impacting horse health, competition schedules, socialisation and stable operations - along with the potential financial implications to consider. Respiratory, gastrointestinal, reproductive and parasitic diseases can be transmitted silently and invisibly. Effective biosecurity measures play a vital role in preventing the spread of pathogens, reduce economic losses and inconvenience associated with outbreaks, veterinary costs, and quarantines; protect the wellbeing of the horses and ensure compliance with industry and regulatory standards for equine welfare.
In this webinar, Cassie Woods will share her expert insights and practical strategies to strengthen biosecurity for both clinic and ambulatory teams, and will offer advice and guidance for helping clients to improve their own biosecurity measures, enhancing standards and welfare for all concerned through a combined approach.
Attendees will have the opportunity to ask the presenter questions during a live Q&A session at the end of the webinar. HORIBA’s Veterinary specialists will also be available to answer veterinary diagnostics-related questions and find out more about solutions and the broad range of pathogen tests the company offers.
Cassie has a degree in bio-veterinary science and has many years of previously working in equine and small animal practice. She regularly lectures for BVNA and BEVA. She is a member of the BEVA equine nurse committee and works closely with the BEVA Trust.
As part of the BEVA nursing committee Cassie hopes to help further raise awareness of the vital roles equine nurses play in practice, promote and develop the role of the equine ambulatory nurse and improve training for equine veterinary grooms and technicians. She is also passionate about inspiring more nurses to take up leadership and management roles within equine practice.
