CloserStill Media has announced a partnership with veterinary digital services provider Vetstream. Vetstream will be provided with the recorded presentations and multiple choice questions from the global portfolio of Vet Shows to create eLearning modules and host them on Vet Show Academy, a version of Vetacademy, Vetstream’s eLearning platform.

Vet Show Academy will enable all veterinary practice team members to have online access to the best and most relevant CPD/CE content, whenever and wherever they are. It is supplied by leading experts on both clinical and practice management topics who have presented at one of the Vet Shows from around the world. Vet teams will be able to select content from one of CloserStill’s nine shows, or relating to a particular species, as well as a precise body system and/or discipline. Once the user has viewed the presentation on any internet-enabled device, they will be able to check their understanding of the key points in each presentation via Multiple Choice Questions. If the user achieves the required mark, they will be issued with a Vet Show branded CPD/CE certificate.

Vet Show Academy users will be able to access the recorded content and multiple-choice questions for the Vet Show(s) that they attend at preferential prices, and will also be entitled to access presentations from the other Vet Shows run by CloserStill Media.

Commenting on the partnership, CloserStill Media’s Vet Show Managing Director Rob Chapman said, “We’ve been recording our content for a number of years and offering it to delegates as CPD webinars, with up to 150 hours of CPD education per year. The partnership with Vetstream and the launch of Vet Show Academy really enhances this feature. Now all Vet Show delegates can benefit from the world-class content we are collecting from our global portfolio of events. Plus, the extra features of multiple-choice questions and certificates means our delegates have easily collatable proof of CPD at assessment time.”
Dr Mark Johnston, Managing Director of Vetstream, added: “We provide both Vetlexicon and Vetacademy for veterinary practice team members around the world on both clinical and practice management topics. The portfolio of content that the Vet Shows present each year across their nine Vet Shows is huge and will give a significant amount of content for all team members (whether veterinarians, nurses or practice managers) to choose from.”

Vet Show Academy will be officially launched at the London Vet Show, 14-15 November at ExCeL, London.
