The International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM), the veterinary division of global cat charity International Cat Care, invites veterinary professionals to see the feline eye from a new perspective at its world-renowned Congress in scenic St Julians, Malta, from 27 to 30 June 2024.
ISFM’s 2024 Congress is themed “Eyes are the window to the soul: Feline ophthalmology and systemic conditions with ophthalmological changes”.
The upcoming Congress will feature a stellar line-up of international experts including Paulo Steagall (anaesthesia and analgesia), Vanessa Barrs (feline medicine and infectious diseases), Julia Beatty (feline medicine and infectious diseases), Ursula Dietrich (veterinary ophthalmology) and Renata Stavinohova (veterinary ophthalmology) for a multi-disciplinary approach to ophthalmological cases through a cat friendly lens.
Head of ISFM, Nathalie Dowgray, said: “Reduced or absent vision can have a huge impact on a cat’s emotional well-being, as well as the pain and discomfort these diseases can often cause.
“We are excited to bring together experts in ophthalmology, pain, infectious disease and internal medicine to give this important topic the focus our feline patients deserve.”
Exploring everything from practical management of ophthalmic cases to advanced feline medicine and surgery, the extensive scientific programme includes traditional theatre-style lectures, interactive panel discussions, in-depth masterclasses and more!
Ensuring all veterinary practitioners leave feeling confident recognising, diagnosing and managing conditions where ocular changes are a key clinical sign of disease.
Delegates will also be able to create their purr-fect Congress experience, with four feline streams in addition to the main plenary sessions; for veterinary professionals who are new to cats, advanced practitioners, those who want practical tips to take straight back to the clinic and those interested in shelter medicine.
Like all ISFM Congress events, there will also be plenty of opportunities to enjoy the stunning location, socialise and network with a like-minded community of professionals committed to improving the wellbeing of cats everywhere.
