The Congress will include more than 108 specialized educational workshops and lectures over the three days, with the attendance of about 40 lecturers from all over the world. Besides this, there will be an accompanying exhibition for veterinary companies, scientific universities, and government agencies. In the field of specialization, they meet together under one roof in the heart of the capital, Abu Dhabi

About our speaker:
Jane Ladlow MA VetMB CertVR CertSAS DipECVS MRCVS has 20 years’ experience as a European Specialist in Small Animal Surgery and over the last 15 years she has focused on upper airway disease in dogs.
Her BOAS research began in 2005 and in conjunction with colleagues at the University of Cambridge, she devised a non-invasive method of assessing airway function in the Bulldog, French Bulldog and Pug, and also introduced a clinical grading system for BOAS. She has developed good relationships with breeders and worked with the breed clubs to introduce health schemes in these three breeds, that include BOAS. Her research has also led to the validation of new surgical techniques such as laser turbinectomy and laryngeal surgeries. The project led to the development of The Kennel Club/University of Cambridge Respiratory Function Grading (RFG) Scheme, launched in 2019, to facilitate the breeding of healthy dogs in Bulldogs, French Bulldogs and Pugs. Jane is continuing this work by promoting the RFG scheme and now intends to start looking at some of the other brachycephalic breeds in addition to her routine clinical work.

Meet The Speaker:
Dr. David Williams
MA MEd VetMD PhD DECAWBM(AW) CertVOphthal CertWEL FHEA FRCVS,
David Williams qualified as a vet from the University of Cambridge in 1988 knowing even at that stage that he wanted to devote his professional life to veterinary ophthalmology. He undertook initial clinical training at the Animal Health Trust under Dr Keith Barnett then moving to the Royal Veterinary College for a PhD before returning to Cambridge where he runs the ophthalmology clinic, although he also visits numerous clinics providing an ambulatory ophthalmology referral service. David is thus used to performing ophthalmic surgery in a referral environment but also understands the challenges and opportunities facing vets keen to do ophthalmic surgery in their own practices.
