Hello Claire, it really depends on what information you are looking for, nursing care wise or husbandry wise?

Sadly the husbandry of this common species is still generally rubbish and often results in a whole range of medical issues, and lots of the published "Husbandry Guidelines" by various people, veterinary and otherwise tend to be about feelings rather than good robust evidence, so its all very tricky?

I would happy to have a chat with you, if that would be helpful or you can email me what you need and I will help if I can, matthewrendlervn@hotmail.co.uk

Girling and Fraser run a series of courses aimed at nursing exotic species, including a reptile module. I don't have personal experience but they have a good reputation. https://www.girlingandfraser.com/reptile-nursing-programme.html

I've completed some VetCPD courses and found them informative and good value, and I know other people who felt the same. I haven't done any of their exotics courses, but you might find this one suitable. https://vetcpd.co.uk/product/reptiles-in-general-practice/

Matthew Rendle is an exotic RVN. I have been to some conferences he was speaking at and was very good, he might be able to point you in the right direction for CPD etc
