Nurses now have their own dedicated online CPD service. Keysteps Online for Veterinary Nurses was launched by CPD Solutions on the 7th July.

Vets have had access to their version of the programme, for the past four years, which enables them to complete their CPD hours at a time and place of their choosing.

The new site has been developed in response to demand for high quality, easily accessible CPD that is specifically designed for veterinary nurses working with small animals.

‘Nurses have been looking at the vets' version of Keysteps Online and asking us for their own programme' said Susie Coughlan, Managing Director of CPD Solutions. ‘They want the complete flexibility that the site offers, together with tuition on essential nursing topics in video form. Now we've made it available for all veterinary nurses, and Keysteps Online will provide sufficient material for nurses to complete their required 15 hours of CPD each year.'

Keysteps Online provides video programmes by expert speakers in a range of essential subject areas, and combines these with self assessment quizzes to test the viewer's understanding. Additional downloadable and online resources provide support for each topic. New programmes are added on a regular basis, and build into a library of valuable resources that can be accessed at any time by subscribers.

Other features of the new service for nurses include their personal secure CPD diary that automatically logs CPD completed and the option to learn in small or large chunks of time from any convenient location.
