Upcoming CPD Events for 2024

NAVP’s Commitment to CPD in 2024
NAVP is committed to offering our members a new and improved CPD package in 2024. We are determined to provide regular, high quality CPD and be the go-to organisation for veterinary physiotherapy professionals to feel supported.
Through our CPD events, we give our members access to experts in their field to learn best practice and improve their all-round knowledge.
Steered by our CPD Team of Sarah Keith and Matt Scott, we have developed a programme for 2024 which we feel will benefit members hugely.
Matt graduated in 2017 with the undergraduate BSc Honours in Veterinary Physiotherapy from Harper Adams. He now runs the Vet Physiotherapy Service at the Queens Veterinary Hospital as part of the University of Cambridge.
The exciting line up of CPD events begin in February.
