Each event provides six hours of interactive CPD designed for the whole veterinary team.
The sessions will be led by QI speakers Lou Northway RVN, Julie Gibson MRCVS and Rachel Clay MRCVS.
RCVS Knowledge said the expanded in-person programme is intended to make hands-on quality improvement support more accessible across regions.
Content will cover applying QI principles to real workplace projects, building systems that learn from errors, and approaches including clinical audit and significant event analysis, with peer discussion across practices.
RCVS Knowledge Clinical Lead Lou Northway said: “It’s time to put ‘we’ve always done it this way’ in the bin and embrace a ‘could it be better?’ mindset.”

The clinic sits within the Queen Mother Hospital for Animals’ Nephrology and Urology service and will monitor dogs during the three months after an AKI episode, when ongoing complications such as high blood pressure can emerge.
Access is via referral from the patient’s primary care veterinary practice.
Ahead of each appointment, owners complete a pre-appointment questionnaire about the dog’s wellbeing at home.
Patients then receive a clinical re-examination with the Nephrology and Urology team, with support from Emergency and Critical Care specialists.
Monitoring includes blood and urine testing and blood pressure measurement, with ultrasound considered depending on discussion at the appointment.
Owners attending the clinic can opt into a longitudinal research study looking at longer-term outcomes after AKI.
Professor Rosanne Jepson, Professor in Small Animal Nephrology and Internal Medicine at the RVC, said: “We hope that clients who are keen to attend this clinic will be willing to also participate in a study so that we can keep in touch with owners and dogs that have been treated for AKI, monitoring their clinical response and also quality of life, so that in the future we can better understand and continually give the very best care in this important recovery period.”
