CPD Solutions Launches World's First Topic-specific Veterinary Webinar Clubs

CPD Solutions has launched what is believed to be a world first, with four topic-specific veterinary webinar clubs, which are available to view at www.veterinarywebinars.com. The initiative offers three clubs for vets focusing on neurology, orthopaedics or small animal practice respectively. There is also a webinar club just for vet nurses and technicians. With a long heritage of traditional and on-line CPD provision to vets and nurses dating back to 1998, CPD Solutions has brought that experience to the fore in setting up the clubs. They have identified which expert speakers are rated most highly for their engaging and informative style and which topics stimulate the greatest interest. The clubs benefit from the latest webinar technology, which lends itself to multimedia platforms, including smooth streaming of video, while still being incredibly easy to operate and access. Anyone joining before 10th October can benefit from a special launch offer of £247^* (+ VAT) to join a webinar club for one year, which includes a free CD/DVD packed with content relevant to the club topic. This means each live webinar costs just over £20, which is hard to match using more traditional CPD formats. All members can also access the full back catalogue of webinars relating to the topic. Susie Coughlan is Managing Director at CPD Solutions, “We have given a lot of thought to setting up these clubs so that they reflect what people really need from their CPD. Neurology and orthopaedics are always incredibly popular topics and many vets have told us that they feel that in these subject areas, rapid developments and new techniques can really change their approach to cases.” Each club provides a monthly live webinar, in afternoons or evenings and of course all the webinars are available for club members to view after the live event at their convenience, making them very accessible across different time zones. There is a good rationale for the scheduling, as Susie Coughlan explains, “We decided to limit the available webinars to one a month during the annual membership period because with the best will in the world, many vets and nurses have only a limited time available to spend on CPD and there is very little point in paying for a multitude of webinars that they will never have the time to attend. Part of the appeal of webinars is their low cost and value for money, although we know many vets and nurses put flexibility as to when and where they view as the most exciting attribute of webinar clubs.” For more details or to join a webinar club visit www.veterinarywebinars.com or call 0151 328 0444.
