Yes I have just done it. Luckily I read the requirements early last year and so have been reading suitable articles since to fill up the 10 hours. Although really finding much relevant is difficult, I just seemed to read lots of articles about tick borne disease! As the exam only took me about 7 minutes instead of the allowed 30 it wasn't too much of a problem (and that included double checking everything to make sure I had ticked the correct boxes).

I agree condensing the case study was the most awkward thing especially as they want comments on any issues.

My colleagues did the Vet CPD course to get the required hours - then they got it all out of the way easily.

I have just completed the CA revalidation, in more-than-slightly-less than 10 hours. Case studies, I ended up doing 2 of the scenarios, and wrote a third, but how you are expected to condense some 'interesting cases where Passport Production was a tad complicated' into 300 words was the most stressful bit. Writing the village Panto was more interesting. Finding someone to watch me do the online 'quiz' was fun, too. (try taking 2 vets out of clinic at the same time, ok, you can now borrow a RVN or a lawyer)

Oh well, another few hours on my RCVS CPD list, added to all the minutes on APLH No-Deal Brexit offerings.

I have just looked at the requirements for this, and I wondered if anyone else in the world has done this? case studies? 10 hours of OV CPD is it just me that finds this excessive and is not going to do it?

Nope and Yes.

That's all I have to say on the subject OV work.
