Exotic Animal Practice- GPCert(ExAP)
This one year course on veterinary management of exotic animals is accredited with the the European School of Veterinary Postgraduate Studies (ESVPS).
The General Practitioner Certificate programmes offered by Improve in conjunction with the ESVPS provide attainable, balanced qualifications for veterinarians working in general practice and allow delegates to achieve true improvement in knowledge and expertise through a combination of didactic tuition, practical experience and reflective learning.
It is intended that delegates should be able to complete the training programme and achieve success in the examinations without taking excessive time away from their practice and normal activities.
The 2004/2005 course is currently underway but some places may still be available.

These small tortoises are Egyptian tortoises (Testudo kleinmanni).
They are extinct in Egypt and these animals are part of a captive breeding strategy.
Eventually this species will be reintroduced into Egypt, in fact I was there in
November 1999 checking the health status of the first 100 animals to be released.
