ATTENTION: ALL CPD PROVIDERS
A new para-veterinary profession, veterinary physiotherapist, has been promulgated in December 2017. The SAVC Veterinary Physiotherapy Sub-Committee has completed the reviewing of applications for registration under various sections of the Veterinary and Para-Veterinary Professions Act, Act 19 of 1982. All CPD providers are hereby informed that they may proceed with the application for CPD accreditation for veterinary physiotherapists, given that the life cycle of an accredited activity is six (6) years. It has to be noted that persons will only be able to claim the CPD points once they are registered. Attendees should therefore be informed that CPD points cannot be claimed retrospectively.
