BEVA's Christmas Cracker: Dilemmas and consequences
Advertisement
This year’s Christmas Cracker brings together equine clinicians, human sports clinicians and riders to explore the difficult decisions where evidence, experience, ethics and competing interests converge.
Attend both days to hear real experiences that get to the heart of the decisions that challenge even the most experienced clinicians. Short presentations will set the scene for candid, peer-to-peer discussion, exploring different approaches, their outcomes and what we can learn from each other.
Bring your own views and experiences, keep an open mind and be prepared to challenge your thinking. This is a forum, not a lecture.
Day one: clinical judgements - Between a rock and a hard place
What happens when the answer isn’t clear-cut, the stakes are high and the pressure is on?
Explore the more subjective elements of clinical judgement in sport horse practice, from complex orthopaedic decisions to weighing up the facts and nailing your colours to the mast during a pre-purchase examination.
Day two: ethical judgements – Where do you draw the line
When the interests of the horse, the ambitions of the client, the demands of the sport and the ethics of our profession don’t perfectly align, where do our responsibilities lie?
Day two explores welfare, ethics, competing interests and professional responsibility, with novel insights from Olympic riders and parallels from human sports medicine.
