Views sought on new digital learning resource
The College is seeking feedback from veterinary professionals on its new Academy learning platform.
The RCVS Academy learning platform will be launching later this year.

The RCVS is seeking veterinary professionals to support the development of its new RCVS Academy learning platform.

The platform will be launched later this year as part of the RCVS Academy Initiative and aims to support the skills and knowledge of the veterinary team with a range of digital learning and development tools.

Before its launch, the College is seeking veterinary professionals to join the RCVS Academy Panel to provide feedback on the learning platform and support the advancement of the RCVS Academy project.

Panellists will be required to provide feedback on the key features and functionality of the learning platform, suggest learning topics and attend virtual discussion groups.

Jennifer Ayers RVN, RCVS Academy Manager, said: “We are looking for veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses and any other members of the veterinary team who have a key interest in learning and the further development and advancement of professional skills within the professions.

“The Panel is looking for individuals from across the industry with a variety of roles, disciplines, career stages, ages, backgrounds, and locations. We’re keen to ensure that the Academy responds to the needs of all our veterinary professionals.”

Anyone interested in joining the panel can register their interest here.
