How we produce our modules
All our modules begin with a detailed outline that aims to identify all the questions we want to answer.
We commission a collaborative author to prepare the first draft.
We circulate the draft to a panel of veterinary practitioners and other relevant commentators (topic specialists, regulatory authority, professional organisations). This stage of module development is key to ensuring the information is relevant to practice.
Where relevant we include a link to original sources of official information/regulations (the Horse’s mouth), so that there is absolute clarity about the basis for advice.
