ISFM shares details on upcoming Dublin Congress
Programme designed to support a multi-modal and cat friendly approach to caring for cats with urinary issues.
2023 Congress to spotlight feline urinary issues.

The International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM) has announced the theme of its Dublin Congress – 'Between a Urolith and a Hard Place: Acute upper urinary tract disease and beyond...'

Set to take place in Dublin from 29 June to 2 July 2023, the event is part of the IFSM Congress series, and will provide an extensive look at feline urinary cases, an increasingly common occurrence in feline practice.

The Congress will explore these issues and the roles internal medicine, imaging and surgery play in the diagnosis and treatment. A cat-friendly approach to caring for feline patients with acute upper urinary tract disease and other emergencies will be at the forefront of the learning.

Veterinary specialist lead at ISFM, Dr Sam Taylor, said: “We seem to be seeing more and more feline urinary cases, urolithiasis and acute kidney injury - and of course the familiar blocked cats! 

“In Dublin, I can’t wait to hear how to approach these cases as well as look more in-depth at ECC and discuss cat friendly critical care amongst many other topics from all angles – surgery, medicine, behaviour, imaging and more!”

Delegates will have the opportunity to learn in a variety of formats, including traditional lectures, joint lectures, interactive panel discussions and masterclasses.

A line-up of international specialists and authorities on feline urinary issues and emergencies has been announced, with Søren Boysen (Emergency & Critical Care), Serge Chalhoub (Internal Medicine), Laura Owen (Soft Tissue Surgery) and special guest Allyson Berent (Non-Invasive Surgery) all scheduled to appear.

The 2023 ISFM Feline Congress Dublin is open to veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses of all experiences to attend. Further information, including how to register for the event, can be found here.
