Learning doesn’t stop just because you complete your degree or pass your final exam. Life is one massive learning curve, and the simple truth is that you can never know enough, but you can at least keep trying. Continuing Professional Development [CPD] is the training required to maintain a professional status after you have qualified. It is a record of training and experiences you continue to have to evidence you are keeping up with developments within your profession.
In the cases of some professions, specifically ones that deal with life or death matters, it is especially crucial to keep on top of all the newest developments. Certain fields, such as medicine, are being updated with new discoveries all the time, and it’s important that the people who provide treatments are aware of any new research that has been done, otherwise human health can suffer.
The same is true of animal health, which is why veterinary professionals are legally mandated to undertake a certain number of hours of continuing professional development (CPD) every year. Even somebody who has been qualified for 30 years still needs to keep on top of new developments – indeed, it is arguably more crucial for somebody who first trained 30 years ago to do CPD, because there is a risk that a lot of what they learned is now out of date.
The Webinar Vet offers CPD to veterinary professionals to help them ensure that they are compliant with legal requirements, although most vets and vet nurses voluntarily undertake CPD because they enjoy learning about new topics. Veterinary is a subject which is so wide that it would be near impossible for one person to know everything, but that doesn’t discourage people from striving to become as knowledgeable as possible.
The Webinar Vet provides CPD online, which means that vets don’t have to travel great distances or pay unreasonable amounts of money, and also means more CPD can be completed in the same amount of time, with ease.
Are you a newly qualified vet or studying to be one? The Webinar Vet is passionate about helping vets and nurses provide the best standard of care, ensuring that animals across the world are kept happy and healthy. Get in touch to find out how they can help you keep on top of your profession.
