A recent survey has revealed that online CPD webinars now make up three quarters of the annual CPD for webinar members. The survey, which sought the CPD behaviour of members of
The Webinar Vet, highlights the fast growing popularity of online CPD says The Webinar Vet founder Anthony Chadwick MRCVS.
Mr Chadwick adds that the total CPD points recorded by members also far exceeds the 35 hour target. “Our members average over 60 hours of online CPD per year. Indeed several members are exceeding 100 hours a year including workshops, and some have even recorded over 200 hours of total CPD!”
Launched just over two years ago, The Webinar Vet was the first company in the UK to specialise in web-based CPD for vets and has taken the veterinary world by storm, with nearly 1000 members from around the globe.
“There will always be a need for workshop CPD, but most vets and VNs can get the majority of the updates and information they need online. However we believe that in many cases it’s not a simple swap – the convenience of online CPD means that many vets and VNs are earning more total hours, which can only be a good thing for the profession.
“Many vets and VNs are juggling busy family lives with work in practice, and the convenience of viewing and participating in webinars from your own home or in a practice lunch break is both cost and time saving, not to mention the reduction in carbon footprint,” he concludes.
