Learn and save with the Central College of Animal Studies

A CPD Club in which members benefit from priority access to high quality workshops and training events at reduced prices, has been launched by the Central College of Animal Studies.

As well as priority booking, Club members receive special offers for some of the College’s most popular events. There is also a ‘wish list’ facility whereby members can suggest workshops and training events.

Erica Dorling, CCOAS centres co-ordinator, said: “We are delighted to launch our CPD Club enabling members to benefit from a wide range of high quality events at reduced prices and there is no fee to join”.

The Central College of Animal Studies is a specialist provider of training for the veterinary profession. The college trains veterinary nurses, receptionists and practice managers and provides post-graduate training for veterinary surgeons and nurses.

The next CPD event (26 April) puts the spotlight on dog and cat behaviour and aims to help practitioners understand and influence owner behaviour to improve their dog’s welfare. It will also offer practical tips on helping clients deal with an ageing cat. 
 
This will be followed by a CPD day on analgesia and pain recognition on the 18 May. Other upcoming topics include, diagnostic imaging, fluid therapy and physiotherapy.
 
In June and September, the College will host preparation days for student veterinary nurses getting ready for their OSCE exams. With a focus on practical preparation, OSCE examiners will run through tasks to make sure that students feel confident with the techniques required.
 
Fo more information about the CPD Club please email enquiries@ccoas.org.uk or visit CCOAS at BSAVA stand 132.
