Explore: Infectious agents, biosecurity, and infection control in practice

Written by The Improve Team | 23 February 2026

Infectious diseases can cause a lot of problems for veterinary practice. Not only are they a common presentation, but many can quickly spread between patients in the clinic. Biosecurity in veterinary clinics is therefore essential to help stop patients getting ill. 

In this free CPD, we'll explore the topic of infection control in veterinary practice, including:

  • How to categorise your patients according to their level of risk
  • How infections are transmitted in veterinary practice
  • Biosecurity and barrier nursing
  • Infection surveillance 

The CPD is delivered across two lessons. Each lesson is online, interactive, and designed to fit into your busy schedule, you’ll also receive a certificate upon completion!
