The BSAVA Postgraduate Certificate (PgCert) equips veterinary surgeons with the knowledge and expertise that they need to deal with the medical or surgical situations that they encounter regularly. The programme also explores complex techniques and new advances, better enabling them to discuss treatment option and potential outcomes with clients, as well as to refer appropriately.

The certificates are validated by Nottingham Trent University and are relevant to small animal practice, with a combination of face-to-face courses and online learning enabling flexible study, yet providing a feeling of academic community and support.

PGCert will cover:

  • Small animal surgery
