Don’t forget to register for this year’s EVECC Congress in Venice, Italy:

http://www.evecc-congress.org/

The European Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society (EVECCS) promotes the development of veterinary emergency and critical care across Europe. In order to improve the accessibility of this specialty to colleagues, EVECCS has now developed an Annual Travel Grant for two of its members. Two travel grants will be offered annually: one for a veterinarian, and one for a nurse/technician.
Each winner of the travel grant will receive a sum of 1000€ to visit a European institution before the 1st of June 2019. The travel grant is dedicated to help cover expenses related to your visit (charged visit
fees, travel, accommodation…)

Young vets looking for an internship or a residency program, technicians or nurses interested to improve their skills, as well as experienced vets/technicians/nurses willing to improve their knowledge and/or acquire new techniques are warmly invited to apply.

Attached to this post, you will find a list of institutions and contact details of the local supervisors. Please carefully check the details for each institution, particularly the possible periods, durations, as well as required language skills. Please note that facilities may charge fees for the visit. Afterwards contact the local supervisor to make further inquiries and assess the feasibility of a visit. As soon as the applicant and local
supervisor have come to an agreement, the application form must be filled in and signed by both. Applications are open until the 1st of June 2018 and must be signed and submitted to travel committee at travel-grant@eveccs.org.

The travel grant committee will evaluate all applications, considering the candidate’s profile, curriculum vitae, interest in ECC and capacity to communicate in language spoken at the visiting institution. The winner of the grant will be announced at the next EVECC congress in Venice. The winner will be noticed prior to the congress via mail and will be promoted on the EVECCS website and social media after the congress. At the
end of the visit, we will ask for a short evaluation to both the applicant and the local supervisor. The applicant will write a short report of their visit, for potential use on the EVECCS website, newsletter and/or EVECCS booth at congress(es), to be received by the 1st of June 2018 at the latest.

Please download and complete the attached application forms.

scil animal care company is pleased to announce the 2017 awardee: Congratulations to Dr. Yaron Bruchim from the Departments of Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care and Small Animal Internal Medicine, Koret School of Veterinary Medicine, Hebrew University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Jerusalem, Israel and his project “Serum histones as biomarkers of insult severity in dogs with septic peritonitis”.

The mission of EVECCS and ECVECC is to promote the advancement of knowledge and high standards of practice in veterinary emergency medicine and critical patient care. This is the main goal of the joint congress done every year in Europe.

The Scientific Committee is seeking proposals for presentation topics and ideas for our 17th EVECC congress in Venice, Italy, that will take place from 21 to 23th of June 2018. Veterinary and Technician Experts in Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care are invited to submit their proposed topics and course descriptions for lecture to Isabelle Goy-Thollot (chair of the scientific committee).

The focus of the 2018 EVECC congress will be on “Straight to the heart”: cardiovascular emergency, arrhythmias in ER, hemodynamic changes in critical patients, with a focus on septic shock, or sepsis. However, the program will cover a wide variety of topics with a wide variety of levels to satisfy the needs of veterinary and technician specialists, advanced clinicians and technicians, general practitioners, and support staff dedicated to or having a special interest in Emergency and Critical Care.

scil animal care company is pleased to announce the 2016 awardee:
Congratulations to Elodie Darnis from the University of Liège, Belgium, and her project “Cardiac FAST”.

The goal of this research project is the development of a standardized and objective method for assessment of caudal vena cava diameter and collapsibility. Once a standardized technique and reference intervals independent of body size have been established, this technique could be evaluated in a clinical setting to adequately monitor intravascular volume status and the need for fluid resuscitation.

Wear referrals, a State-of-the Art new referral hospital in the UK, is looking for an emergency & critical care surgeon to lead their E&CC service. For more information check the attached file.

The European Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care Society (EVECCS) is pleased to announce that scil animal care company has partnered with us, and is funding a post graduate research grant.  The first grant was awarded in 2014.
