The team have enjoyed 2 days at the Veterinary Osteoarthritis Association conference!

It was great to refresh and update our knowledge, meet more fellow passionate professionals as well as have some much deserved down time as a team ❤️

We can wait to implement what we've learnt and incorporate it into our teaching!
