About Webinar Plus courses

Webinar Plus courses are a hybrid of our themed webinar series and e-CPD courses and provide a rich learning experience over four weeks. Less intense than e-CPD but with greater learning support than webinars alone, each course is worth 16 CPD hours. There will be a two hour webinar each week which participants can attend ’live’ or view the recorded version if the day or time does not suit their schedule. In addition, participants will have access to our web-based virtual learning platform where there will be a variety of learning resources available to support the topic of each week including comprehensive course notes, supplementary reading material and cases and/or radiographs to assess.

There will be discussion forums for interaction with fellow participants as well as tutor moderated Q&A sessions each week so all of your concerns and queries about the topic can be aired and discussed. Approximately four hours CPD per week should be planned for in your schedule.

About this course

The course will be of interest to any small animal practitioner looking to improve their understanding and techniques in fracture fixation and to reduce the chances of something going wrong. The course would also be valuable for RCVS CertAVP candidates studying for C modules in small animal surgery. Live webinars will take place each Tuesday during the course from 1-3pm (registration from 12.30pm). Recorded versions of each webinar will be made available for viewing througout the course. Participants can earn up to 16 CPD hours if the course is completed fully.

Key areas

• The principles of fracture fixation – understanding the basics
• External skeletal fixation
• Internal fixation
• Tricky cases and when things go wrong – avoiding disasters, and how to manage them when they happen

Each week will consist of:

1. A 2 hour webinar. You can access this live each week and/or view the recorded version throughout the course
2. An individual study activity designed to consolidate the material covered in the webinar
3. A group discussion activity. This will be moderated by the tutor who may make comments at the end of the week as appropriate.
4. A Q&A discussion forum. Anything that you do not understand about the webinar or other course material can be posted as a question in the discussion forum. Other participants are encouraged to answer the question or contribute if they can. The tutor will comment as necessary and answer any outstanding questions by the end of each week.
