ADVANCE YOUR ORTHOPAEDIC SKILLS WITH A NEW QUALIFICATION
General Practitioner Advanced Certificate (GPAdvCert)
This new qualification has been developed for veterinary professionals who wish to advance their knowledge and practical skills, progress their academic qualifications and gain recognition in their field. Accredited by the European School of Veterinary Postgraduate Studies (ESVPS) and validated by Harper Adams University (HAU), the GPAdvCert in Small Animal Orthopaedics is the first of many "next-step" programmes to be launched under this new postgraduate level qualification.
Practical and condensed learning in advanced orthopaedics
Through interactive and engaging lectures, demonstrations and practical application, a small team of world-class clinicians will provide you with the very latest information in small animal orthopaedics, and supervise you while you practise new surgical techniques and more advanced procedures in a wet-lab environment.
The GPAdvCert in Small Animal Orthopaedics is for veterinary surgeons who have already completed their General Practitioner Certificate in Small Animal Surgery (GPCert SAS) or Postgraduate Certificate (PgC) in Small Animal Surgery and want to expand their knowledge in this technically skilled area. There is an opportunity for your colleagues who hold an equivalent qualification from another provider to also join this programme. Please contact us for further details.
