The vet whisperer

This course names the six specific drivers of self-doubt that affect vets and nurses daily — and gives you a practical framework to protect your mental health and keep performing at your best.

Building a Sustainable Veterinary Practice

Running a practice that works long-term means getting the systems, culture, and people right. This course gives practice managers and vets the foundations to build a practice that is better to work in for the whole team.

Stress management

A stressed team is harder to retain, less motivated, and more likely to burn out. This course covers the causes of workplace stress in veterinary practice and the practical steps individuals and managers can take to reduce it.

Adult basic life support

This course covers cardiorespiratory arrest, choking, the recovery position, and AED use so that every member of your practice team can respond with confidence when it matters.

Equality and diversity

A legal requirement and a practical necessity. This course covers what equality and diversity mean in a veterinary workplace, your responsibilities as an employer or team member, and how to apply it day to day.

Introduction to Neurodiversity and Reasonable Adjustments

Around one in seven people are neurodivergent. This course helps practice teams understand what that means in a workplace context, how to make reasonable adjustments, and how to get the best from every member of your team.

Every completed iLearn course generates a CPD certificate automatically. Save it and attach it to your activity record in the RCVS 1CPD app. Your hours are logged, your certificate is stored, and your compliance is on track.
