THE GBGB's next webinar on Tuesday 8th December [12:00 – 13.00] will focus on lungworm and the proactive steps trainers can take to protect the health and wellbeing of their greyhounds.

Lungworm is an emerging and potentially life-threatening disease, making early detection and prevention essential.

The webinar will be held online via Microsoft Teams and led by Professor Hany Elsheikha, Professor of Interdisciplinary Parasitology at the University of Nottingham who is a leading expert in parasitology.

The session will provide practical information and advice for those caring for greyhounds, covering:

• What lungworm is and why greyhounds may be at risk.
• Clinical signs and early warning indicators.
• Diagnosis and treatment options.
• Prevention and parasite control programmes.
• Practical management advice.

The webinar, open to all GBGB licence holders, is free to attend with a Q&A to follow the presentation.

This webinar forms part of GBGB’s ongoing education programme, helping GBGB licence holders stay up to date with the latest research and developments in greyhound welfare and care.
