The RCVS stipulates we must undertake a minimum of 105 hours of CPD over 3 years, this equates to 35 hours a year.

Of the 35 hours, up to 10 hours a year may be made up of undocumented, self-directed study.

Many of the FREE courses offered through the CPD pages on VetGrad.co.uk offer certificates or a record of achievement on completion of the course, these courses will therefore count towards the 35 hours a year you must undertake.

In your first year after qualifying, completing your PDP will count as your first year of CPD.  You can update your PDP quickly and easily through VetGrad.co.uk, using the “PDP” button in the top menu or by clicking here
