Continuing Professional Development

Continuing Professional Development is an important aspect of veterinary nursing - the need to constantly be upskilling and developing.

With the advent of voluntary registration, it is a requirement to complete  20 CPD points per calendar year if you wish to be included in the List/Register - this equates to 20 hours

Below is a table showing how these points can be gained. 

Any course that has already been accredited by an outside source - eg RACE points, is acceptable by NZVNA. 
You may use 8 hours (8 points) of non accredited CPD per year

CPD Points table 2020


On the following page you will find a list of CPD that has been accredited by NZVNA
