With research from The Webinar Vet* highlighting the growing popularity of online CPD within the veterinary profession, a new service has been launched by Vetacademy (www.vetacademy.co.uk) to make accessing CPD from multiple sources on clinical and practice management topics simple, quick and cost effective. Vetacademy is the online CPD service from online veterinary content supplier Vetstream. It already provides an extensive range of online CPD modules working with some of the world’s leading veterinary CPD providers including the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies; Elsevier and Improve International. It has now released a platform to provide specialist veterinary videos, enabling practice team members to watch a surgical technique or catch up on a disease via a lecture from a leading clinician at their convenience. Using the new Vetacademy video player, veterinary professionals can have access in minutes to more than 170 videos from a range of CPD providers and veterinary specialists including the Royal Veterinary College; the Video Vet and the Association of Anaesthetists. Some are provided free of charge and others are available on a pay-per-view basis with free previews and no subscription fee or downloads required. Business training specialist Video Arts, a company co-founded by John Cleese, is the latest to sign an agreement with Vetacademy to provide its communication and customer service training videos via the online video player. MJ mugshot“Online CPD is increasingly the option of choice because it’s convenient and removes the need to travel,” explains Dr G Mark Johnston MRCVS, founder of Vetacademy. “Yet accessing online CPD can be complicated and costly with veterinary staff sometimes having to research a range of different providers to find the training they require or having to pay a subscription for a series of modules when they are only interested in one specific topic. In contrast, Vetacademy offers them a ‘department store’, bringing together best of breed CPD from a wide range of providers. It offers a broad choice of clinical and practice management video content with viewers paying only for the videos they want to see. Users of Vetacademy are also able to access peer reviewed clinical content on Vetstream Canis, Equis, Lapis and Felis for their clinical cases and CPD activity.” For more information on Vetacademy, visit www.vetacademy.co.uk or contact Jessica Debnam on 01223 895843 or at [email protected]. * Source: www.vetsonline.com 17 July 2012
