New postgraduate certificate in emergency practice
The course includes modules in emergency practice, emergency medicine and emergency surgery.
Practical course to help vets hone their techniques

The University of Chester and CPD Solutions have launched a new postgraduate certificate in emergency practice for small animal vets.

The course begins in October 2018 and will allow students to obtain their PgCert in just 12 months. It includes nine days of hands-on practical training based at the CPD solutions training centre near Birmingham.

‘Our experience is that vets get the most out of hands-on practical training in a structured and supportive environment, combined with reflective application of their new skills in practice,” said CPD Solutions MD Susie Coughlan.

“This is the format for the PgCert in Emergency Practice – all attendance sessions are practical, and the course provides support for developing reflective work- based learning that vets can then use throughout their careers. We are developing the range of 12 month PgCerts for vets and we’re very excited to be able to offer the highly popular subject of Emergency Practice this year.”

The certificate will be led by tutors Tobias Grave, Aidan McAlinden, Smita Das and Scott Kilpatrick, who will help vets hone their techniques and decision-making in small group sessions. It includes modules in 'Essentials of Small Animal Emergency Practice', 'Small Animal Emergency Medicine' and 'Small Animal Emergency Surgery'.

Assessment is ongoing and based on a submission of a reflective portfolio in keeping with the current RCVS move towards outcomes-based CPD.
