The online, self-paced course offers veterinary teams evidence-based handling techniques designed to support feline welfare and improve clinical outcomes.
Stephanie Barnard-Twitchett, Registered Veterinary Nurse, Champion of Feline Welfare & Behaviour and Pharmacovigilance Specialist at Ceva Animal Health, said: "We know more about feline behaviour than ever before.
"Research has redefined our understanding of how cats experience veterinary visits, how stress affects clinical outcomes, and how small environmental and handling changes can dramatically improve feline welfare.
"Yet, despite this growing body of evidence, many cats still experience unnecessary fear and anxiety during routine veterinary visits.
"The question is no longer whether feline-friendly handling works.
"The question is how we help veterinary teams implement it consistently".

The webinar will focus on how vaccination programmes can be successfully integrated into dairy herds.
The session will explore how the five-point cryptosporidiosis control plan can guide client discussions, how extended colostrum feeding can be implemented on-farm, and practical strategies covering hygiene, transition milk, and wider scour control.

The six bite-sized modules are designed to give whole practice teams GDPR training that reflects day-to-day veterinary workflows, and to provide a simple way for practices to evidence staff training for compliance purposes.
Training-Progress said the aim is to move GDPR training beyond generic, “box-ticking” content by focusing on real scenarios and data-handling habits inside practices.
The programme is split into two learning streams.
A “Team Stream” is aimed at all roles across the practice, covering core GDPR principles and typical data processes in a veterinary setting.
A “Leadership Stream” is described as a deeper dive for practice leaders, focusing on policies, processes and data management.
Laura Shaw, Training-Progress, said the company is frequently asked for GDPR training written specifically for vets, adding: “Generic courses simply aren’t relevant enough to change behaviour.
"Our modules address the real issues that occur in practices every day—issues that cause stress, risk client trust, and can lead to significant consequences with the ICO.”
Nicola Major, practice manager at VetDentist in Harrogate, which trialled the training, said: “The course breaks down everything you need to know about GDPR in a clear, practical way, making a complex subject easy to understand and apply.”
