Taking place on Wednesday, January 27, between 10am and 1pm, via Microsoft Teams, the event will see SQPs gain 22 CPD points.

Presentations will focus on livestock health and include the development of diagnostic tests for disease control and in support of animal disease surveillance schemes, and the importance of a One Health approach in disease pandemics.
