  1. Alex B –

    The course was great as it recapped the anatomy of the individual cases and then went into good detail about each case and broke it down. She explained around the slides which helped my understanding.

  3. Carly D –

    This course was very informative. I really enjoyed the tutorials and the level of detail that they contained. The quiz for each topic was at a good level of difficulty which meant that you needed to be paying close attention to the information provided in the tutorials. I thought this was great because it helped me to properly learn. The ‘Take Notes’ tab was very handy and Beth was a great teacher. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in furthering their knowledge in feline medicine.

    The course was very informative and had a very good amount of information packed in for such as short time. At times felt like there was almost too much, but has made me very interested to delve deeper into some of the topics.

  7. Michelle S –

    This was a lovely course for a refresher for referral nurses and amazing splash of extra information for general practice nurses. Beth had so many amazing topics, points and display of information – it was informative and engaging (as someone who struggles with paying attention due to ADHD, it was engaging). It was easy to follow and interactive.

    Rated: Intermediate level
    (Referral or specialist RVN – AUS)

  8. Laura M –

  9. Sue G –

    This was a very well designed course. There was plenty of relevant information regarding the different disease processes as well as diagnosis, treatment and nursing care, along with supporting evidence, without overloading on studies and figures.
    It is very clear that Beth the tutor is passionate about what she does and really knows her stuff!
    I very much enjoyed this CPD course and would definitely recommend it to other nurses with an interest in Feline Medicine.
