Why choose a Focus 20 programme
We have built Focus 20 to allow modular CPD training for Vet Nurses in a customisable way, plus other benefits which include:
ISVPS Foundation Certificate (FCert): Suitable if you have gained an ISVPS General Practitioner Certificate (GPCert), Postgraduate Certificate (PgC) or ISVPS Nurse Certificate (NCert) as it provides a more detailed insight into subjects that may have been studied as part of a modular programme previously. It is also relevant to those vets and nurses looking for a stand-alone update in a chosen area of interest.
40 hours of CPD: The Focus 20 programmes are each based on approximately 5 months of learning and will enable you to meet your annual CPD targets.
100% online: Using blended media, which is a mixture of different learning styles from interactive online lessons and videos, webinars and “knowledge” checks.
CPD developed by leading experts: We have selected the very best experts to help develop the content and structure of the Focus 20 programmes.
RCVS knowledge access: The RCVS Knowledge library includes access to a wealth of electronic resources, including the latest journals and clinical research.
Improve Veterinary Practice Membership: One year’s access to the Improve Veterinary Practice Membership – an online knowledge and information hub for veterinary professionals across all specialities.
