2 Day Workshop -21 & 22 September 2026

Join us for this popular 2 day workshop. 

This two day workshop covers topics relating to the Foundations of Advanced Veterinary Practice module or ‘A-module’, the first module in the CertAVP program.  The topics are highly applicable to everyday practice and the workshop is open to all, not just those enrolled on the modules.  For more information please contact our team at vpuoffice@liverpool.ac.uk.

Through a series of presentations, workshops, and interactive group work we will stimulate you to think about making clinical decisions in context, managing mistakes, improvements in practice and 'caring and killing' in practice. You will leave with ideas about how to approach these and similar topics in your reflective writing for the Cert AVP and your practice in general.

Lunch and refreshments provided.
