VCNZ's CPD framework

In April 2011, the Veterinary Council of New Zealand (VCNZ) made it mandatory for veterinarians to engage in CPD activity to meet new registration requirements. The current framework requires that you:

• develop a CPD plan
• complete and record the activities applicable to your plan
• review your CPD plan

Under the new VCNZ reporting requirements, veterinarians record CPD activities to meet an identified learning need.

To learn more about the VCNZ changes and requirements, you can visit their Continuing Professional Development page.

VCNZ have compiled a guideline on what you can count as CPD.
