Hey Amazing RVN,

We think you're awesome, and we also see you searching for free, non-clinical webinars and the Google trend of "veterinary nurse CPD FREE".

As a veterinary nurse, your professional development is lifelong - we are all always growing and learning. While clinical skills are vital, there’s a growing recognition that non-clinical CPD can be equally valuable in enhancing your well-being, confidence, and overall job satisfaction. If you’re looking for FREE Veterinary Nurse CPD that goes beyond the typical clinical focus, you’re in the right place!

In this blog post, we’ll explore why adding non-clinical CPD into your repertoire is a game changer, plus introduce seven fantastic FREE Veterinary Nurse CPD sessions you can access right now. These are the replays of live sessions we ran over the last 2 years - some of them the Vet Empowered team have presented, and others are with expert guests.

Why Non-Clinical CPD Matters for Veterinary Nurses

Traditionally, CPD in veterinary nursing has centred on clinical skills and medical knowledge. Of course, these are essential – they’re the foundation of your role. But as any experienced RVN knows, your job involves much more than bandages, injections, and patient monitoring.

Non-clinical CPD covers a range of topics that address the human side of veterinary work:

• Emotional resilience: Learn strategies to cope with compassion fatigue, stress, and burnout.

• Communication skills: Handle difficult conversations with owners and colleagues with more ease.

• Personal well-being: Explore topics like hormonal health, nutrition, and mindset to keep yourself healthy and energised.

• Work-life balance: Develop practical skills to set boundaries and protect your time.

Adding non-clinical CPD to your learning plan is about investing in yourself – your health, your mindset, and your confidence. When you feel supported and balanced, you’re better equipped to care for patients and thrive in your role.

How to Make the Most of FREE Veterinary Nurse CPD

• Schedule Time for Learning

Even though these CPD sessions are free, they’re packed with insights. Block out time to watch them without distractions so you can fully absorb the content.

• Reflect & Apply

After each session, take a few minutes to jot down key takeaways and how you might apply them in your daily life.

• Share & Discuss

CPD is more powerful when shared! Invite your colleagues to join you and discuss what you’ve learned - you might be surprised at how much richer the experience becomes.

• Balance Clinical & Non-Clinical Learning

While clinical skills remain vital, non-clinical CPD is a secret weapon for your well-being and professional growth. Embrace the holistic approach – your future self will thank you!
