  • NAVP Members are highly skilled Veterinary Physiotherapists, working at the highest level, delivering the best professional care. CPD is therefore at the forefront of the membership requirements to ensure that Continuous Professional Development is relevant, regular and furthers all members’ skills, continuing the highly regarded NAVP accreditation.

    A minimum of 50 hours of CPD over a two-year period is required to be declared annually at each renewal. CPD should reflect the members’ scope of practice and be clinically relevant.

    This record card should be completed following each CPD activity. A random audit will take place each year for a minimum of 5% of members.
