Surprisingly effective, easy wins to improve the echo experience for your feline patients.
If you’re searching for cardiology CPD that’s genuinely practical, clinically relevant, and actually restorative — HeartVets Surfari 2026 might be exactly what you need.
Taking place on 18–19 June at the Bedruthan Hotel & Spa in Cornwall, this two-day conference is designed specifically for general practice vets and veterinary nurses who want to build real confidence in ECG interpretation and arrhythmia management — without the usual conference fatigue.
What you’ll come away with: Up to 9 hours of CPD covering practical ECG acquisition and interpretation, Holter monitoring in everyday practice, diagnosis and management of common arrhythmias, managing arrhythmias under anaesthesia, and interactive small-group case discussions you can apply immediately back in practice. On the Friday, separate vet and nurse streams run in parallel, so content is tailored directly to your role.
Expert teaching comes from HeartVets’ specialist cardiologists Jo Harris, Dave Dickson and Julia Sargent, alongside Holter Analyst Rob Hicks and RCVS-Recognised Specialist in Anaesthesia Will McFadzean. Nurse sessions are led by specialist nurses Lauren Holland and Charlotte Glover.
Then close your laptop and step outside.
The Bedruthan is perched right on the Cornish coast, and the conference is built around the idea that learning well means resting well too.
On Thursday afternoon, you will have the choice of either a surf or yoga lesson; simply select your activity when you register online for no additional. Alternatively you can make use of the lovely facilities and relax in the spa!
