The training consists of around 20 hours of learning delivered online so it offers flexibility to vets taking part and we recommend that vets take around 3 months to complete it.
While we know that some people will be able to complete the online training quite quickly if circumstances allow, we also know that some people have additional commitments that mean training may take longer to complete.

No. The practice and VetGDP Adviser will need to commit their time but there is no direct cost. The online learning for VetGDP Advisers will be provided by the RCVS free of charge.
-
The VetGDP button will only appear in your 1CPD when you are chosen by your graduate as an Adviser.
If your graduate isn’t on the drop-down list, please ask them to make sure that they have set up a relationship in their RCVS My Account, with the same practice as you.
You can find step by step guides for each party here.

This is an opportunity to support the next generation of veterinary graduates as they establish themselves in their career and we anticipate that VetGDP Advisers will feel a great sense of achievement in doing so. As graduates receive targeted support depending on their capabilities they will grow in confidence, becoming a more productive member of the team quickly. We also anticipate that they are likely to remain for longer in the workplace in which they complete VetGDP, helping retention rates.
The VetGDP online training is a chance for vets to pursue a new form of CPD, and develop transferable skills that can benefit the VetGDP Adviser as well as the wider veterinary team such as reflection, developing a learning culture in practice, and encouraging a no-blame culture.
