CPD Sessions Are Being Made Available As Podcasts For The First Time By Dechra Veterinary Products

CPD sessions are being made available as podcasts for the first time by Dechra Veterinary Products as part of a new series of presentations on canine hyperadrenocorticism. The Cushing's Challenge series, which will also be available as webcasts with supporting notes, are designed to challenge vets to update their knowledge on the syndrome. There will be six presentations released on the company's online learning resource, The Dechra Academy, starting this month (OCT). Dechra Veterinary Products Brand Manager, Craig Sankey said: “Although Cushing's is a common canine endocrinopathy, it can be challenging to diagnose and can mimic non-adrenal disorders. Test results can also sometimes be inconclusive which is why we've developed this series of CPD sessions to support veterinary professionals who want to update their knowledge. “The Cushing's Challenge series will be the first time Dechra has used podcasts to deliver CPD, which can be downloaded and listened to on any MP3 player. They can also be viewed on a PC or tablet as a webcast with each of the presentations varying in length, from around 12 to 25 minutes long. By offering the presentations in both of these formats, we are able to offer flexible support to help busy veterinary professionals with CPD. “The first episodes will focus on pathophysiology, clinical signs and routine lab tests with successive presentations released in the coming weeks. The next two in the series will cover diagnostic tests and then differentiation tests,” added Mr Sankey. CPD certificates will be available at the end of the series via email. The free-of-charge CPD is also accompanied by a raft of client support material for practices as Dechra focuses on Cushing's with its new Vetoryl® campaign. The Cushing's Challenge CPD is available at www.dechra.co.uk/academy
