Working towards future 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 over the next 6–12 months.

For now, this PgCert remains a practical, university-validated Level 7 postgraduate qualification designed to help vets 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.

It has also helped improve my knowledge regarding surgical disorders and improved my perioperative management. I feel that my skills have improved considerably in a short period of time. Fantastic staff – very professional and helpful throughout, seemed genuinely invested in my development as a surgeon.” Jamie Croucher MRCVS
