For anyone interested I have found what will (hopefully) be the perfect solution. Liverpool do month long online 'mini modules', with 25 hours of interactive CPD (and I'm guessing a bit more in the way of homework) spread over four weeks. There are two equine options, and I really like the look of both. There are also two small animal options, though I haven't looked at them at all. Best of all the next date they start running is the actual date of my op, so the timing will coincide perfectly.

Thank you Malcolm - I have done some before (equine nutrition, exercise physiology and quantum mechanics!!) through Coursera, but had forgotten about them as it was a few years ago. Will have another look.

It is not veterinary but if you are not yet familiar with "MOOCs" (?? Massive Open Online Courses) then google and take a look.

Futurelearn and Coursera are two providers I can recommend. Courses are variable in length from a couple of hours over 2 or 3 weeks up to 10-12 hours a week for a much longer course. The courses are usually excellent quality presented by top-end academics. Subjects on anything from Engineering, 3D printing, English Literature, Languages, History, Physiology, Oncology, Psychology etc etc etc.

They are also free.
