10th EVECCS Congress 2011
June 10-12, 2011 - Utrecht, Netherlands
(Click here to contact the organizers)

The focus of the 10th EVECCS Congress 2011 is the transport and role of oxygen in emergency and critical care (ECC). The pivotal role of oxygen in many bodily processes results in a wide array of topics that will be discussed by renowned speakers from all over the world. Around this theme many other ECC topics will be reviewed.

The Congress aims at an advanced continuing education level for the private practitioner and veterinary nurse working in, or with a special interest in veterinary ECC.

Social Programme

No congress can do without a social programme! EVECCS 2011 organized an all-inclusive Gala Dinner with live band on Saturday evening. Make sure to register for the Gala dinner event when you register for the conference. This event requires you to purchase a ticket to attend. Register early for this event as the historic site forces us to limit the number of delegates that can attend this event. And we assure you: you do not want to miss it!
If you have time left, take the opportunity to visit the beautiful city of Utrecht. Utrecht is a bustling city where cultural events and festivals are held weekly.
