Do you ever leave a CPD event with unanswered questions? Wonder how you will apply what you have learnt to practice? Feline Interactive is a recorded, two-day online course covering multiple up to date feline topics in a friendly format. Designed to fit around family and real life, the course offers an opportunity to listen to discussions of cases and controversies with leading experts, as well as catch up on the latest information.

Topics: The course will cover various areas of feline medicine including novel treatments for FIP, the latest tips on hyperthyroidism and chronic kidney disease, osteoarthritis, inappetence, diabetes and pancreatitis. Lectures are broken up with case studies and recorded discussions.

Course materials: Attendees will receive pdfs of the Speakers’ presentations and access to recordings of the live sessions.

I thought it was excellent - I really enjoyed how interactive it was.  The speakers were flexible and welcomed input and there were some wonderful fellow attendees with really useful input. Sarah and Sam did an excellent job of responding to the chat questions as well as doing their presentations!

I found the case studies very interesting and helpful. I feel that I am more engaged with the topic and can apply knowledge to 'real life' cases in practice

It was very interesting with loads of new information that I was unaware of, but not too technical that I couldn't follow it. Really engaging and stimulating discussions

Lovely and relaxed, kept to good time

It worked really well for me. I don't feel anything was lost by it not being in person. It was much easier for logistics of childcare!

Worked better than I thought it would

I initially didn't like on-line events, but I find they make it much easier to be interactive as questions can be posed via message without interfering with host talking. You can interact real time rather than waiting until end of a talk to pose a question. Much less intimidating than a lecture

A lot of practical stuff that I can use in my first opinion - not too affluent practice so very useful. Good to have CPD that isn't all about doing a CT or many-many blood tests

Online very convenient - I have a young son and the fact that the course is online has allowed me to drop him off and pick up from school but I can still enjoy the excellent CPD

(The course) went well, the technology worked and we ran to time with plenty of time for questions and discussion - this part is often compromised and I think it is important

Strictly evidence-based, very scientific approach. Lots of space for discussions and upfront regarding approach in real clinical cases.  Not only a theory course

Loved the online approach! Definitely should be the way forward for most CPD hopefully

I liked how it was interactive and can discus real cases. Very helpful and useful. So being online was as good as in person in that respect’
