The Dechra Academy has become the first veterinary education provider to be accredited by the Learning and Performance Institute (LPI).

To achieve the accreditation, Dechra’s Digital Learning team’s educational content, processes and services were reviewed and benchmarked against key opinion indicators by an LPI consultant.

Dechra Academy was first established in the UK in 2010 and has since launched in over 20 additional countries across the world. 

Last year, over 5,000 veterinary professionals in the UK completed over 9,000 courses and there is currently over 60 hours of free CPD content available across the company’s therapy areas including endocrinology, dermatology, analgesia and anaesthesia, nutrition, equine analgesia and anaesthesia and locomotion.

The company has just launched the first of two courses in its ‘Purffect Partner’ series, which focuses on identifying and treating unintended feline weight loss.

A further four case studies will be added in the coming months.
