Registered veterinary nurse Rebecca Lindon has won a £50 iTunes voucher in the RCVS 'record makers and breakers' competition held at the London Vet Show.

Rebecca entered the competition at the RCVS stand, where she also was able to find out more about the new online RCVS Professional Development Records (PDR) for vets and veterinary nurses.

Rebecca, who works at the Aston Clinton Veterinary Centre in Aylesbury, said: "I found the show really informative and exciting. Everyone at the RCVS stand was very helpful and friendly and it was great to learn about the online CPD recording system. It makes it easier to keep track of my CPD."

Over 200 veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses and other practice staff entered the RCVS competition. The answers to the competition questions are:

  1. Record-breaking racehorse Kauto Star retired in October. Out of 41 races, he won 23.
  2. Veterinary surgeons and registered veterinary nurses are expected to complete and record an average of 35 hours and 15 hours of continuing professional development per year.
  3. A Norfolk Terrier from Dover was recently crowned 'Westminster Dog of the Year'. The dog's name was Star.
