Improve International has announced a partnership with the Univeristy of Cambridge Department of Veterinary Medicine.

Improve international teams up with the University of Cambridge Department of Veterinary Medicine.

CPD training provider Improve International has teamed up with the University of Cambridge Department of Veterinary Medicine to bring vets and vet nurses the latest evidence-based knowledge from the university's specialists.

The new Improve International Veterinary Academy Series will see the introduction of five-month-long semesters, each focusing on a different clinical topic. A series of engaging video lectures, discussion forums and journal clubs will form the basis of each semester, together with a chance to access the university's latest evidence-based research.

Among the clinical topics that will be covered by the series include: brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome, canine and feline oncology, canine and feline cardiology, canine and feline neurology and equine oncology. Students are encouraged to select a combination of semesters to help fulfil their annual CPD requirement. 

Charlotte French, head of curriculum and quality at Improve International, commented: “We are thrilled to be working with the University of Cambridge Department of Veterinary Medicine as another innovative way to help the veterinary community take their careers to the next level. At Improve International, we look forward to offering veterinary nurses and surgeons worldwide the chance to explore ground-breaking work and help advance animal welfare around the globe.”

Professor Mike Herrtage, Trustee of the University of Cambridge Veterinary School Trust and former Dean of the Cambridge Veterinary School, added: “The new joint agreement brings together Improve International, with its outstanding record of high-quality and innovative CPD provision and the staff of the Department of Veterinary Medicine with their excellent specialist clinical knowledge and experience, as well as their recognised quality in small group teaching to stage the Improve International Academy Series. This will provide a new milestone in CPD course delivery.”
