CPD Library
Vet Nurse Online provides a wide range of veterinary nursing CPD (continuing professional development) lectures. All are available online and are provided by experienced vet nurse lecturers, each bringing different experience and qualifications to our CPD programme.
Presented in a traditional lecture style manner using mixes of text, audio, images and video, our lecture collection is diverse and ranges from our ‘refresher’ or ‘introduction to’ and ‘Bite size’ range – perfect for vet nurses going back into practice or taking on a new role – to our more in depth and specialised lectures – helping vet nurses to progress professionally.
We recommend taking notes during all lectures as they may contain exercises to be carried out during the module, or be followed by questions to test the knowledge gained. Completing a lecture, questions/exercise and then reflecting on your learning in your online log is all part of the CPD. You can also access printable course handouts and a CPD certificate of attendance.
We continue to upload our lectures and will continue to add lectures monthly, to give you plenty of choice all year round.
