Liphook Equine Hospital

Our vets at Liphook Equine Hospital are often invited to give talks to a wide variety of audiences, such as delegates at veterinary conferences.

Yesterday, Equine Veterinary Surgeon 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿 was invited to present 2 talks at the world famous The London Vet Show. Russell discussed managing acute severe lameness and practical tips on intravenous regional perfusion, sub-palpebral lavage catheters and performing nerve blocks.

The London Vet Show, held at London ExCeL, is the largest veterinary exhibition in Europe and runs over two days.

Huw Griffiths, one of our clinical directors at Liphook Equine Hospital, has been presented with his presidential chains of office today in a ceremony at the BEVA Conference in Birmingham (𝗕𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻).

Huw said he is looking forward to having the opportunity to lead the Council and make a difference for his fellow vets over the next 12 months.

He is one of our team of 10 road vets, travelling to see clients and their horses all over the south east, and also looks after the practice’s larger stud clients.

A BEVA Council member for six years, Huw has served on the breeding and reproduction committee, as well as chairing the clinical practice committee and the Artificial Insemination discussion forum.

BEVA represents the veterinary industry on a wide range of topics and is committed to championing high standards of equine health and welfare. It also promotes research and education and encourages vets to share ideas that will have a positive benefit on the equestrian community.

The Essentials of Equine Practice course has run every two years since 2001 and has been expertly composed for recent graduates, and those in their first few years of practice, who intend to work in equine ambulatory practice.  Previous delegates have also included those with more experience wishing to refresh their knowledge of general equine practice.  

The broad theme is an evidence-based and practice approach to common clinical scenarios.  The three days mainly consist of short and punchy presentations, with an afternoon of practical skills training at Liphook Equine Hospital.   

The most important part of all is our emphasis on community; come and hang out with current and ex-house vets (our interns), ambulatory vets, internal medicine and surgical specialists, diversifiers, and clinical researchers.  Quiz us on our career paths, motivations, and how we make being an equine vet work for us.  Let us help support you through your journey in equine practice.  There are plenty of chances to meet our team through the course, especially during the evening events: a Friday evening race meeting at Goodwood (with a world- famous DJ afterwards) and a course supper on the Saturday night!

All lectures and accommodation are at West Dean House, a beautiful mansion nestled in the South Downs National Park. All meals, racing and accommodation are included in the registration fee.  2022 will be the 21^stanniversary of the course and it promises to be our best ever!  Course registrations opens very soon; contact tasha.wilson@theleh.co.uk to join our Essentials of Equine Practice email list. 

Topics include: strangles, coughing, EMS, castration, euthanasia, liver disease, cardiac murmurs, gastric ulcers, abdominal ultrasound, colic work up, acute severe lameness, and many more. 

We are thrilled to unveil our new logo which has been refreshed to reflect a more contemporary and cleaner look.

We have modernised the horse icon whilst still keeping the same colours and appearance.

Over the coming weeks and months, you will start to see the new logo appear on our literature, online platforms, signage and uniforms etc.
