Anonymous Feedback from our 2017 Delegates

“Excellent weekend of CPD; the lectures seemed very engaging and the topics very interesting and relevant.”

“As a student who hasn’t got years of experience in exotics/zoo, I was worried I wouldn’t understand some of the talks but they were really good, fascinating with excellent speakers.  I loved the fact people talk about cases they have personally seen which made it really interesting and I learnt a great deal over the weekend. It has inspired me to love this profession even more!!”

“I loved every minute of it very professionally run and well organised. Can’t wait for next year! So nice to meet a group of like minded people and know that I have help and support out there!”

“The whole committee were extremely welcoming and made me feel relaxed. I had some great advice from committee members to help me gain confidence before my talk and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience!”
