Dechra is running a new series of webinars through the Academy about how to successfully manage cases with the constraints of the current COVID-19 outbreak as part of its enhanced support for veterinary professionals
The weekly sessions offer practical guidance for vets and veterinary nurses managing chronic cases in line with guidelines issued by the RCVS, the BVA and the government.
