24 veterinarians from seven countries have just gathered in Cremona, Italy, to undertake the first module of the new General Practitioner Advanced Certificate (GPAdvCert) in Orthopaedics launched in 2017 by veterinary CPD specialist Improve International.
The GPAdvCert is aimed at European veterinary professionals who wish to advance their knowledge and practical skills in small animal orthopaedics. Accredited by the European School of Veterinary Postgraduate Studies (ESVPS) and validated by Harper Adams University, the programme is delivered over 15 modules at three world-class venues including TrecchiLAB, a new international practical education centre in Cremona.
Improve’s Mr John Douglass said: “We were delighted to welcome delegates to our highest-level surgery syllabus under the expert tutelage of European Specialists Bruno Peirone, Lisa Piras, Aldo Vezzoni, Ulrike Matis, Hugo Schmoekel and Ditte Skytte and using the fantastic facilities at TrecchiLAB. This is the first programme we have run in partnership with the Italian Companion Animal Veterinary Association (SCIVAC) and is a milestone for us as we celebrate our 20th year in business.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming the delegates back for their second module in June in Madrid, Spain, and at our new practical facility in Sheffield in October.”
