The Board conducted its fourth audit of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points reported by veterinary practitioners this year. Approximately 750 veterinarians have now been audited in the last four years (22% of practising veterinarians in NSW).
A stratified random sample of veterinarians is selected from our database each year with stratification based on area of employment, registration type (full, specialist, limited, honorary, deemed), year of graduation and audit history to ensure the breadth of the profession is covered.
