VetSurgeon.org and Improve Veterinary Practice have launched the Clinical Article Club, where, like a book club, vets are invited to read and then discuss mainly clinical articles with the author and each other in the VetSurgeon Forum.
Time spent discussing the articles can be claimed towards the annual CPD requirement by pressing the “Claim CPD” link at the top of the forum discussion thread.
The first article up for discussion is “What diet should we feed a cat or dog with cancer?” by Owen Davies (Figure 1), from our September oncology feature. Owen will be joining you in the forum this week for a chat!
Owen is an RCVS, American and European Specialist in Veterinary Oncology working at Highcroft Referrals.
He graduated from Cambridge in 2005, worked in rural practice for three years, followed by a time working for charities and then at a large hospital. In 2014, he moved to the RVC to specialise in oncology before joining Highcroft in 2017.
VetSurgeon.org Clinical Editor, Alasdair Hotston Moore said: “I think this adds a really valuable extra dimension to your clinical reading.
“It’s not just the opportunity to ask questions of the author, but also to discuss the implications and practicalities of the article among yourselves.
VetSurgeon.org Editor, Arlo Guthrie added: “More than that, it’s also in a closed professional community where you can be 100 percent confident of a friendly atmosphere and authoritative opinions with provenance.
“More than that, the questions you ask and the discussion you have are then available as a useful, searchable resource for everyone in the profession.”
So do head over to the forum and join in the discussion.
Or if you haven’t already, read the article on our website.
