This is the second online Mini Series I have done, and I have found both so convenient and flexible as they allow me to work around my small children.
I enjoyed it and enjoyed being able to do at my own pace. It’s much easier to do the webinars when I have quiet time at home or in practice.
What will I learn on this course?
Session 1
Re-emerging Infectious Diseases in the UK
- Defining “emerging” and “re-emerging” diseases – how common are they?
- Novel disease presentations – are we underestimating the important of infectious disease? Using a case example of a challenging case of liver disease we will explore whether infectious agents might be playing a more important role than we think?
- Discussion of other topical infectious diseases in the UK which are increasingly diagnosed, including where they come from, how to recognise and diagnose them, recommended treatment options and best strategies for prevention.
Session 2
Pet Travel and Emerging diseases: “Expecting the unexpected”
- Discussion of the PETS scheme and the risks associated with increasing pet travel.
- Introduction to rabies and Echinococcus multilocularis – what are they and what’s all the fuss about?
- An overview of some of the emerging diseases starting to appear in the UK that should be included on the differential list - Leishmania, Babesia and Ehrlichia.
Session 3
Diseases of the future: “The calm before the storm”?
- A discussion of some of the currently “exotic diseases”, such as heartworm, fungal diseases and Spirocerca lupi and whether they could become diseases of the future in the UK.
- Heartworm – how does it cause disease and how to diagnose and treat it.
- An overview of other unusual infectious diseases to be aware of, including Spirocerca lupi and fungal diseases, using case examples and highlighting important aspects of diagnosis and treatment.
