Improve Veterinary Education Academy Series – online courses for vets and vet nurses in association with the University of Cambridge Department of Veterinary Medicine
The Improve Veterinary Education Cambridge Academy Series is an online, lecture-style learning experience split into five courses (or ‘semesters’) that have been built to enhance your veterinary knowledge and take your career to new heights. These online courses for vets and vet nurses are delivered by the clinical teams and top specialists at the Queen’s Veterinary School Hospital, Cambridge University. They cover current topics such as cardiology, oncology, and neurology, giving vets in general practice access to flexible online CPD, on demand. The Veterinary Academy courses are also suitable for veterinary nurses, especially those running their own nurse clinics or managing referrals.
