Training – 9/19/25 to 9/21/25 – G2Z2025 Feline HQHVSN Workshop – Getting 2 Zero (fee applies)

Brisbane Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

Getting 2 Zero Presents (fee applies): Created specifically to fill a gap for veterinary professionals, the G2Z2025 Feline HQHVSN Workshop is the only event of its kind in Australia. The goal is to have 100 participants that are made up of 50 veterinarians and 50 nurses/techs/practice manager. We are aiming for a ‘team’ (or more) from each workplace so that there is more than one person taking the knowledge and skills back to the workplace
and because much of the value of HQHVSN lies in the processes and non-surgical aspects of the model.
