CPD points

 

The CPD year for each veterinarian runs from 1 April to 31 March and you are required to report the number of structured and unstructured CPD points attained during this time in your Annual Return.  You will be invited to submit your Annual Return in June together with payment of your annual registration renewal fee.

Over any 3 year period you must attain 60 CPD points including at least 15 structured points.  Structured and unstructured CPD point allocations were developed by the AVBC and the AVA and the points allocation table is available from our website (Guidelines).

You are able to check the number of points submitted in previous annual returns for any given 3 year cycle by using the Vet Login function on our website. The current year (1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020) will appear as zero until after you submit your Annual Return.

If you have not completed sufficient CPD points for the 3 year period the Board will contact you after 30 June seeking details of your individual circumstances. 

The Board’s policy to assist veterinarians who have failed to meet their CPD requirements is available from our website (Policies).
