Vet Nurse CPD Library
Vet Nurse Online provides a wide range of CPD veterinary nursing courses. Presented in a traditional lecture style manner using mixes of text, audio, images and video, our collection is diverse. It ranges from our ‘refresher’ or ‘introduction to’ and ‘Bite size’ range – perfect for veterinary nurses going back into practice or taking on a new role – to our more in depth and specialised lectures – helping veterinary nurses to progress professionally.
We recommend taking notes during lectures as they may contain exercises to be carried out, or be followed by questions to test the knowledge gained. Completing a course, questions/exercise and then reflecting on your learning in your online course log is all part of the veterinary nursing CPD. You can also access printable course handouts and a course certificate of attendance.
