CPD Solutions has launched what is believed to be a world first, with a webinar club just for nurses and technicians, available to view at www.veterinarywebinars.com. There are also three clubs for vets on specific topics including neurology, orthopaedics or small animal practice respectively.
With a long heritage of traditional and on-line CPD provision to vets and nurses dating back to 1998, CPD Solutions has brought that experience to the fore in setting up the webinar clubs. They have identified the expert speakers nurses relate to most positively and which topics nurses find most useful. The club benefits from the latest webinar technology, which lends itself to multimedia platforms, including smooth streaming of video, allowing those essential practical skills to be demonstrated. Webinars are really easy to access – all that’s needed is a PC or MAC and broadband access – and full support is available by telephone and email from CPD Solutions to make the process as smooth as possible.
An early rush to sign up is on the cards, as there is a special launch offer for nurses joining before 10th October and at just £247* (+ VAT) to join the nurse webinar club for one year it’s a real bargain, saving £80 on full price membership. This means each live webinar costs just over £20, which is hard to match using more traditional CPD formats. But that’s not all: each membership comes with two log-ins, meaning that two nurses can benefit from the nurse webinar club for the price of one! The launch offer also includes a free CD/DVD packed with content relevant to the club topic. All members will also enjoy access to four webinars from the recent archive.
Susie Coughlan is Managing Director at CPD Solutions, “We know that for nurses, CPD can be a big challenge. Time and cost are a real consideration and many nurses are not able to travel to distant venues to study the topics of their choice due to family or work commitments. In winter, travelling alone in cold and dark conditions becomes even less attractive. This webinar club offers a way for nurses to access relevant high quality CPD, safely, easily and cost effectively, to fit with their busy lifestyles.”
The nurses club provides a monthly live webinar, in afternoons or evenings and of course all the webinars are available for club members to view after the live event at their convenience, making them very accessible across different time zones. There is a good rationale for the scheduling, as Susie Coughlan explains, “We decided to limit the available webinars to one a month during the annual membership period because with the best will in the world, many nurses have only a limited time and money available to spend on CPD and there is very little point in paying for a multitude of webinars that they will never have the time to attend. Part of the appeal of webinars is their low cost and value for money, although we know many nurses put flexibility as to when and where they view as the most exciting attribute of webinar clubs. It’s another small but important step towards helping nurses maintain and build upon their professional skills.”

*Price after 10th October is £327 (+ VAT) per webinar club, which equates to just over £27 per webinar. The offer price represents a saving of £80.
