Flag spotting: obstacles to recovery in patients with musculoskeletal disorders

‘Thought Jonathan Dyce's webinar was excellent, it’s the best one I've attended yet. It was very focused and very relevant to day to day orthopaedics.’

‘Course excellent and best instructional U/S course I've attended.’

‘So far has been the most useful course on abdominal scans I have done.’

'I am amazed at how much we have achieved in just 2 days. I'm looking forward to level 2 now. I will be a lot more confident at using ultrasound in future.'

‘Mark very clear and explains things in ways that are not only easy to understand but enable me to work out problems from the underlying principles.’

An excellent practical course with patient and skilled tutors. Covers all the major emergency procedures that you worry about on call. I am much more confident with the surgeries and have picked up lots of useful tips.

'Tutor was excellent. One of the most useful and informative courses I've been on. Every vet in first opinion practice would benefit.'

This is the best practical session I have ever attended. Lots of video clips detailing the surgical procedures. Practical sessions are excellent, one to one coaching is always available. I will definitely recommend this course.

Course Very Well Structured And The Tutor Was Of Very High Quality. I Would (and I Will) Recommend This Course To My Colleagues.

‘Straightforward logical approach with lots of practical film reading rather than too much focus on theory.’

‘Thoroughly enjoyed it. Gained confidence in common approach and decision making. Good balance of theory and practical.’

Excellent course. I learned a loads of handy tips. It is extremely useful, very practical and I will highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get a good start with Orthopaedics.

'I performed a superficial caudal epigastric skin flap on a dog who had tried to jump a barbed wire fence causing a massive skin deficit in her groin. I would not have been confident to do this without the video on Keysteps online which shows step by step how to do this technique and explains complications that can occur. I don't think I would have had a successful outcome without the knowledge that Keysteps gave me.'

Great balance of teaching through both practical Endoscopy but also the techniques, theory, what’s normal and what’s not. Taken me to the level I will be happy to go back to the surgery and get straight into working up cases and get stuck in!

‘I would just like to say the webinar was excellent. It answered a lot of questions that we have been debating at our surgery, especially the subject of in-dwelling catheters. It was practical and relevant and thoroughly enjoyable. I look forward to more webinars!’

‘I would like to pass on my compliments on the online CE program and the superb quality of the ultrasound miniseries. This is my first experience with your program and I am very impressed with the quality.’

Today has been fascinating and engaging and I will leave with renewed enthusiasm. I can’t wait to get back to practice and implement all that I have learned. There is the perfect mix of lecture vs practical to help maintain focus.

‘Just for the record - I think this is a wonderful service.’

'Excellent course, pasionate speaker and extremely useful practical sessions. In only 2 days feel enormously more confident.'

'A dog with a descemetocele would have lost its eye if I hadn't gained the confidence to perform a pedicle graft through a Keysteps Online programme.'

Great experience at CPD Solutions learning about Local Anaesthetic Techniques. Would definitely recommend! Came with an idea of what I wanted to learn but came away with so much more!

I found the course excellent. The practical sessions were also of great value, with good equipment and plenty of time to practise techniques. Overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone thinking of embarking on Spinal Surgery.

'Have used information from your PSS topic to help with a kitten with a shunt and neurological / fitting info for several epileptic / neurological patients. The best bit is being able to return to it when you like.' 'Found the CPD on osteosarcsoma particularly useful when discussing with owners about survival rates'

'Very enjoyable and informative. Lots of time using the Ultrasound machine. (Which was great) Feel a lot more confident about scanning in practice now.'

'Section on status epilecticus-had a dog that would not stop seizuring until I used the protocol given. Also gave me the information I needed to give a clear account to the owners.'

'Very enjoyable. Excellent opportunity to practice practical skills. Thorough, explanation and keen tutors.'

This course provided a great combination of theory and practical techniques. The information was very well presented and one to one feedback given during the wet lab. I now feel confident about getting on with exploratory laparotomies and beyond!

‘I have more awareness of patient monitoring, value of cardiac monitors, importance of understanding what the monitor is recording and showing.’

'Can complete CPD at work -no need for long days travelling by train, or giving up evenings.'

Amazing. Really good for vet surgeons that are not comfortable around U/S machines. The course offers a good introduction to U/S basics. Practical part quite long and allows us to practise and feel more confident.

One thing I really like about these webinars is being able to watch them as many times as you like, within a certain period. It's also really good not having to drive anywhere.’

The knowledge I have reinforced alongside the surgical techniques I have learned will allow me to manage eye cases better, and to basically save eyes that would otherwise have been enucleation because referral is impractical for many owners.

'It allows me to perform a significant amount of my yearly CPD obligation without having to spend time away from my young family.'

‘My confidence to deal with those weekend chest films on my own is hugely enhanced. Good notes and good film reading practice.’

‘Wow! Thank you so much for a wonderful lecture. That was the best CPD I've done in years. You explained everything really clearly and succinctly. I really enjoyed it. Thank you, Esther.’

'Fantastic course, really helpful image filled lectures to cement the images in your brain. Great hands on practical experience. Feel ready to take on my next Endoscopy.'

Brilliant course. Tutor very enthusiastic, small class size which is optimal to get a lot of time in lab, and one to one with tutor. Venue perfect.

‘For the first time in my life I feel I could make a reasonable attempt at putting a plate on! Orthopaedics seems less frightening – the wetlabs were invaluable.’

Application of techniques learnt today are applicable to a very wide range of commonly encountered fracture scenarios and are likely to be put to near daily use in our busy centre.'

The course is very practical. I can use a lot of the techniques back home with confidence. The tutors are very experienced and eager to share their experience. The facilities at the CPD training centre are very good.

‘I enjoyed the webinar very much, found it very informative and interesting. Thank you very much! ‘

Extremely useful to build up practical confidence in emergency situations, excellent and engaging. Now I can face these procedures without panicking. High quality of teaching.

This has been such a great experience. I have come away learning more than I thought I would and now feel much happier with not only performing an ultrasound but also changing the settings to achieve a better image.

'This was an excellent course, I now know what I should be doing when scanning hearts so will be scanning many more.'

‘Just a note to say thank you for enabling me to access the webinar. I thought Kevin’s talk was both interesting and informative and found the study regarding changing osmolality through the duration of the hibernation period particularly fascinating.’
