Under the Veterinary Practice Act 2003 (s 33(1)(b)) details of any physical or mental impairment, disability, condition or disorder which detrimentally affects or is likely to detrimentally affect the person’s physical or mental capacity to practise veterinary science must be declared in the Annual Return.

If you have been injured or ill during the year and as a result unable to complete the required CPD for your cycle it is important that you make the above declaration in your Annual Return.

If you have been unable to meet your CPD requirements for your 3 year cycle the Board will contact you after the renewal period. 

The Board has developed the policy Failure to Meet CPD Requirements to ensure that whilst each case is assessed individually a consistent approach is adopted across the profession.
