An exciting new development in our online course portfolio for 2012 is the introduction of our Webinar Plus courses. A hybrid of our themed webinar series and e-CPD courses, each Webinar Plus course will provide a rich learning experience over four weeks. Less intense than e-CPD but with greater learning support than webinars alone, each course is worth 16 CPD hours and will involve a mixture of webinars, online case assessment exercises, supplementary reading material and discussion forums involving the tutors and veterinary colleagues from around the world. There will be a two hour webinar each week which participants can attend ’live’ or view the recorded version if the day or time does not suit their schedule. In addition, participants will have access to our web-based virtual learning platform where there will be a variety of learning resources available to support the topic of each week including comprehensive course notes, supplementary reading material and cases and/or radiographs to assess.

There will be discussion forums for interaction with fellow participants
as well as tutor moderated Q&A sessions each week so all of your
concerns and queries about the topic can be aired and discussed.

Approximately four hours CPD per week should be planned for in your
schedule. At less than £20 per CPD hour, the Webinar Plus courses are
fantastic value for superb flexible tutor-guided CPD.

This four week online course will consist of webinars, online discussion forums, case and radiograph assessment exercises and supplementary reading material.

The course will be of interest to any small animal practitioner looking to improve their understanding and techniques in fracture fixation and to reduce the chances of something going wrong.

Key areas:
