SPVS reports that there are still places available on its next GP Mastery course for vets in the first third of their careers, those returning to work, and any in need of renewed confidence. 

The nine-month course, which starts on 15th October, is designed to address the non-clinical challenges faced by vets in general practice — many of which SPVS says are still underrepresented in traditional CPD, including: 

  • Managing consult-room time effectively
  • Strategies to combat imposter syndrome
  • Building a supportive culture and asking for help
  • Communicating clearly with clients and colleagues—especially under pressure
  • Making confident decisions in uncertain situations
  • Recognising and preventing early burnout

The course includes a two-day in-person launch in Solihull, monthly online group sessions till July 2026 and a mix of in-person, virtual and self-paced learning. 

The course costs £1250 for SPVS members, £1,500 for non members.
