Awards for CPD
Each year VET Trust allocates a sum of money as VET Trust
CPD Awards to veterinary surgeons, qualified veterinary nurses, veterinary practices and groups of veterinary
surgeons to increase the amount of CPD they undertake and improve the quality of
their CPD.
Previous recipients included junior academics living on grants, veterinary
surgeons returning to practice following a career break and veterinary surgeons
who could not get the level of CPD they require in the UK. Grants allowed the
recipients to stay longer on overseas visits and thereby increase the value of
the visits by, for example, visiting other institutions or specialists.
Applicants in areas remote from the main sources of CPD are considered
favourably.
Practices remote from the main centres of specialisation have found that a
visiting tutor lecturing and demonstrating topics of specific interest can offer
very good CPD value. The same applies to groups of practices. In both cases a
VET Trust Award can underwrite some of the expenses of this targeted CPD.
While the Trust wants to increase the amount of CPD undertaken, it is more
important that the studies are high quality and relevant to recipients'
needs and interests. Quality and relevance will be considered when assessing
applications for a VET Trust Award.
