Our Small Animal Medicine PgC programme now includes twenty modules, six of which contain practical components. The programme will be delivered using a combination of face to face and online learning, practical skills training and eight case-based webinars.

At the end of the programme you will have increased your skills, knowledge and confidence in dealing with more complex cases offering familiar and local treatment for the clients who trust you with their pets and accelerate diagnosis and treatment. Not only will you reduce the need for external referrals, you will increase your practice’s capabilities and income and also progress in your career.
