Beyond the Checkbox: Empowering Veterinary Professionals with Comprehensive Online CPD

As veterinary professionals, we all know the importance of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to maintain and improve our knowledge and skills. But at The Webinar Vet, we believe that CPD is much more than just ticking a box. Our online veterinary CPD business offers much more than just the required hours of CPD - it's a platform to educate and empower veterinary professionals to be the best they can be.

Making Nurse Consulting Work for You and Your Practice – Webinar Day

It’s no secret that I have always been a strong supporter of the veterinary nursing profession!  The respect for my co-professionals developed during my 4th and final years at Bristol vet school, when I realised just how much the veterinary nurses there knew and was grateful for their patient help as I struggled to learn my trade.  After graduation, I rapidly recognised that veterinary nurses were my best ally and remember many occasions when a tolerant, understanding one supported and guided me during those early years.  That respect has remained with me and 36 years on I still rely on the nursing team that I work with – and not only to find things like scissors or the auroscope when my ‘vet look’ fails me!

Chronic Pain in the Geriatric Dog: Decision Making and Risk Management Q&A 2

A review of the safety of Cartrophen Vet in the dog was published in the JSAP in 2003 – and Cartrophen was reported to be very safe – with relatively few adverse effects associated with use (data based on reporting of adverse reactions via pharmacovigilance data).
