RCVS Knowledge launches updated e-learning platform
The Learn platform offers more than 30 hours of CPD.
The platform provides free CPD for veterinary professionals.

The charity RCVS Knowledge has launched a new version of Learn, its e-learning platform, to provide easy-to-access Continuous Professional Development (CPD) courses for veterinary teams.

The updated version is the result of a comprehensive review of the platform by the charity to find ways to improve user experience and update the technology.

The platform, which includes courses for all members of the veterinary team, now offers more than 30 hours of free CPD. New courses include a collection on antibiotic stewardship for equine and companion animal veterinary teams and additional content on Quality Improvement (QI).

All of the learning material on the platform has been put together by veterinary professionals and complies with the Code of Professional Conduct, RCVS Practice Standards and veterinary legislation. The content is regularly updated.

Chris Gush, RCVS Knowledge’s executive director, said: “Every day veterinary teams strive to deliver the best care possible. We have developed our Learn platform to help teams deliver high-quality care by providing quick, accessible and flexible learning to help increase the knowledge in practice.

“We are enormously proud of working with veterinary professionals from a range of backgrounds to build the courses on Learn. It is truly learning for veterinary professionals, by veterinary professionals.”

Learn can be accessed online.
