Vetpol has its first-ever Munch & Learn companion animal CPD event, an online programme that it said will inspire, educate and be fun.

Taking place on Friday, September 10, with a line up of presentations and guest speakers, Vetpol said that Munch & Learn will provide bite-size CPD specifically for SQPs and vet nurses working in both retail and practice settings.

The registration body has already secured some high profile speakers, such as Wendy Nevins, past-president of BVNA, Georgie Hollis of Vet Wound Library and SQP trainer and consultant Sally Harmer.

Speakers will be covering a wide range of topics from rabbit welfare, nutrition, caring for elderly cats, communication and more.

The event will begin at 9am with the presentations running in three different virtual rooms throughout the day, so delegates can dip in and out as they wish. For those unable to attend all day, the content will be available for 12 weeks after the event itself.

Caroline Johnson, Vetpol’s founder and director, said: “Our team felt that offering a virtual event with an emphasis on quality, interaction and fun would be both time efficient for delegates and provide some of the buzz one might expect at a face-to-face event.

“Alongside our partners offering competitions and prizes, we plan to give delegates access to first-class CPD that will be of value in their professional roles – and also a day to remember.

“We are expecting a good turnout and trust that delegates will feel more than just visitors, but feel part of the day itself.”
