And that’s a wrap on Endocrinology in Practice: Confident Care Across the Spectrum!

What a week at the iconic State Library Victoria in Melbourne! Three days of practical, case-driven learning followed by two days of hands-on masterclasses.

A special thank you to Dr Linda Fleeman, our Conference Convenor, whose vision shaped the week and reminded us that there is no single ‘gold standard’ of care that fits every case. A spectrum of care approach can help us find the best path forward for the patient, the owner and the veterinary team.

Thank you to our outstanding presenters — Linda Fleeman, Renea Barrett, Amy Lam, Kathrin Langner, Rob Shiel, Sue Foster, Jody Braddock, Carolyn O’Brien, Hattie Syme and Mary Thompson — for sharing their expertise so generously.

We’re also grateful to our sponsors Royal Canin, Bova and Dechra, and to Boehringer Ingelheim for supporting early career veterinarians through the Early Career Grants.

Thank you also to VESPA for their collaboration on this conference and for choosing to host the VESPA Abstract Presentation Session on the final day — a wonderful way to bring the week to a close.

And, of course, thank you to everyone who joined us and brought such great energy, questions and conversation.

Next stop: Sydney! 📍
Join us at another iconic Australian venue — the Art Gallery of NSW — for Surface to Stewardship Conference: Dermatology, Diagnostics & Smarter Antimicrobial Decisions in Practice, 22–24 February 2027.

Registrations are now open — find Surface to Stewardship via https://cve.edu.au/Web/Continuing_Education/Registration/Event_Display.aspx?EventKey=CFSURF0227

What a Day 2! 👏
Yesterday at Endocrinology in Practice: Confident Care Across the Spectrum, we took a deep dive into Cushing’s syndrome — from recognising early and emerging hypercortisolism through to diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and the important sequelae that can complicate these cases.
Our presenters Linda Fleeman, Amy Lam, Rob Shiel, Kathrin Langner, Sue Foster and Jody Braddock brought different perspectives to the conversation, challenging thinking and exploring the real-world trade-offs that make Cushing’s cases anything but straightforward. We wrapped up the day with a fantastic expert panel Q&A and plenty of practical insights to take back to practice.
Today, Day 3 turns to Thyroid & Renal Disease. 🐱
Carolyn O’Brien, Hattie Syme, Mary Thompson and Linda Fleeman will explore senior feline health, thyroid and renal function, bacteriuria, hypertension and feline hyperthyroidism — with a focus on navigating those complex cases where conditions overlap and treatment decisions require careful balancing.
One more big day of learning, discussion and clinical problem-solving ahead!

What a way to kick off Endocrinology in Practice: Confident Care Across the Spectrum!

Day 1 brought plenty of energy to Melbourne, with inspiring and highly practical presentations focused on diabetes.

Led by Linda Fleeman, with insights from Renea Barrett, the day explored the realities of managing one of the most common – and often complex – endocrine conditions in practice. From balancing the needs of the animal, owner and veterinary team, to modern insulin use, continuous glucose monitoring, feline diabetic remission, SGLT2 inhibitors and diabetic emergencies, there were plenty of practical takeaways to bring back to the clinic.

We finished the day with drinks, conversation and a chance to connect at The Oxford Scholar – a great end to a fantastic first day.

And we’re back today for another jam-packed program!
Day 2 is all about Cushing’s syndrome, with Linda Fleeman, Amy Lam, Rob Shiel, Kathrin Langner, Sue Foster and Jody Braddock unpacking the nuances of recognising, diagnosing, treating and monitoring hypercortisolism.

Through dynamic dual-presenter sessions, real-time discussion and an expert panel Q&A, today will explore different perspectives, trade-offs and the real-world clinical decisions involved in managing these cases.

Bring on Day 2! 👏
