Working towards Advanced Practitioner pathways

Our PgCert in Small Animal Surgery now includes a Synoptic Pathway award approved as an eligible qualification for vets applying for RCVS Advanced Practitioner status. We are continuing to work with our University partner and the RCVS to develop similar AP-eligible pathways across our wider PgCert portfolio.

For now, this PgCert remains a highly practical, University-validated Level 7 postgraduate qualification designed to help vets in practice develop their confidence, clinical reasoning, decision-making and reflective ability through structured postgraduate learning. If Advanced Practitioner status is part of your longer-term plan, please contact our PgCert team and we’ll talk you through the current position.
