An exciting new development in CPD at the RVC is our interactive online lecture series. Interactive online lectures not only allow you to hear the lecturer and see slides, radiographs and videos but also allows interaction between participants and the lecturer. It’s a fun, convenient and efficient way of learning and earning some CPD hours without the hassle of travelling.
“Attending” the lecture is easy - you only need internet access and an email address (specific instructions will be sent to registered participants) - no special computer skills or programs are required. All lectures are recorded so if you cannot “attend” the interactive lecture you may choose to view the recorded version online. The recorded version includes all interaction between the participants and the lecturer as well as the lecturer’s teaching material.
All lectures will run for 2 hours - from 1.00pm to 3.00pm British Summer Time (GMT) - plus a 30 minute registration and familiarisation period prior to the commencement of the lecture at 12.30pm.
Each lecture costs £55. Participants may register for as many or as few lectures as they prefer. However, places for the interactive lectures are limited so it is wise to book early.
All participants of both the interactive and recorded lectures will receive an RVC CPD Certificate for 2 hours of CPD.
