AHVLA is looking to determine if there is a demand for training among vets.
Survey launches to assess the need to improve gross pathology skills

A survey has been launched to find out if there is significant demand among vets for diagnostic investigation and gross pathology skills training.

AHVLA says it is looking to enhance the gross pathology skills of private veterinary surgeons, including the undertaking of first opinion post-mortem examinations and targeted sampling.

According to the agency, the proposed training is likely to qualify as CPD.

The survey launch was agreed at a recent meeting with representatives from university veterinary schools, the Royal College of Pathologists, SRUC and other stakeholders.

Launched yesterday, the survey has been created in consultation with the universities of Bristol, Cambridge, Liverpool and Surrey, SRUC, Royal Veterinary College and the Royal College of Pathologists.

Aimed at vets, the anonymous survey consists of 11 questions and will run to May 23, 2014.
