Take your knowledge to another level
Over the last 19 years, Improve International has enabled thousands of vets working in general practice to develop core clinical skills and gain additional postgraduate qualifications in more than 20 different subjects. The next step in this process of lifelong learning is a series of new modular programs and qualifications designed specifically for vets who wish to advance their knowledge and skills in their area of clinical interest. These new programs will be accredited by the International School of Veterinary Postgraduate Studies (ISVPS) Delegates will be able to gain a General Practitioner Advanced Certificate awarded by ISVPS.
Is this programme for me?
You will be an experienced vet with an existing good knowledge of the principles of small animal surgery and particularly small animal orthopaedics.
You will probably have already undertaken additional training in the subject and gained a General Practitioner Certificate in Small Animal Surgery (GPCertSAS) or an equivalent qualification.
You will have a strong interest in the subject and the desire to continually improve your knowledge and skills.
You would like to carry on your studies in the same subject and learn new, more advanced techniques that you can take back into your practice.
You would like to gain a higher-level qualification in the subject.
To undertake this higher level program, you will need to hold a GPCert(SAS) although there will be an Accredited Prior Learning (APL) route for those vets who can demonstrate that they already have a good knowledge of the subject and who wish to pass straight to the examination without undertaking a taught program. Achieving the GPCert(SAS) would then enable registration for the Advanced Certificate program.

Laser Endosurgery
This course provides small animal vets with the knowledge and hands-on experience necessary to incorporate laser technology into their surgical practice, particularly in conjunction with endoscopy. As diode lasers become more common in first opinion veterinary practices, their use in minimally invasive procedures has proven to be an invaluable tool, offering precision and efficiency in delicate surgeries. Theflexible delivery of laser light via a fibre-optic cable, which can be introduced through the instrument channel of an endoscope, allows for exceptional control in tissue resection, tumour de-bulking, and haemostasis.
