Veterinary practice has its highs and lows. Over time the lows can beat us down, causing our confidence to ebb away. Career breaks, clinical or surgical mistakes, client complaints, and poor support can all exacerbate the problem.
At Access CPD we recognise that knowledge alone is often not enough. Being a great vet, nurse or leader takes confidence too.
The confidence to make decisions. The confidence to deal with clients. The confidence to perform daunting surgeries, and the confidence to lead a team are all vital components of a fulfilling and successful career in practice.
Through our online CPD courses, we will show you how to increase your confidence in surgery or leadership, on returning to work, or as a recent graduate. Whatever your career stage we can give you all the skills you need to stay cool and calm in even the most high-pressure situations. We'll even teach you how to combat your rumination and overthinking, so you can relax during your downtime.
We pride ourselves on quality. We aim to produce the highest quality, highest value online veterinary wellbeing courses for vets, nurses and practice managers.
To ensure the highest quality we focus on one thing. Confidence.
All of our courses are designed specifically for vets and nurses struggling with confidence who long to feel more comfortable in their veterinary 'shoes'.
"This course fit my learning goals perfectly I've improved my surgical confidence around difficult surgeries. I'm really happy with what you provided and how it has helped me" - Course delegate
We aim to engage. We don't want you stuck in front of your desktop yawning your way through another unengaging hour-long lecture. That's why we keep our video tutorials short and engaging and show you how to apply the techniques in practice.
We ask thoughtful questions designed to get you thinking and reflecting and we even help you to fill in that dreaded CPD record afterwards.
"I have greatly enjoyed this course - the material is extremely well delivered, clear and easy to access. Thank you!" - Course delegate
We value expertise, experience and evidence. At Access CPD We don't teach from lived experience alone.
There are many coaches and therapists who share their experiences of overcoming their anxiety, depression or burnout. We applaud them for giving their time and energy to help others in a similar position and for sharing their past trauma and insights. This is never an easy thing to do.
But, experience alone isn't always enough. What worked for one coach might not work for you. Their experience may be different from yours, their recovery process may not have been well documented.
There are so many variables with this approach.
That's why at Access CPD we have the qualifications to back up the courses we create.
It's also why we use a scientifically proven framework which has over 1000 randomised clinical trials that prove it's effectiveness in treating anxiety, performance anxiety, PTSD, depression, suicidal ideation and more.
"I love that you seamlessly combine therapy and coaching techniques with veterinary expertise. So unique and effective." - Course delegate
We value time. We know you do too.
That's why our courses are designed for maximum impact with the minimum amount of fluff or fuss. All in your own time, with no need to be online for inconvenient live calls.
"I'm loving the course and love taking it at a pace that suits my current lifestyle which is fab. Thanks so much and well done on the course, you and Jo are fab :) " -Course delegate
We value results. The skills and techniques we teach in our online courses aren't just tick box exercises.
We provide concise, comprehensive programs to teach you exactly how to be more confident in practice.
This confidence will help in your everyday life. In theatre. In the consult room. On the phone. On farms or yards. In meetings and more.
Our range of courses are customised for your chosen veterinary role and particular career stage.

This was such a great course! and I love how it was tied into veterinary medicine directly.
The course was fantastic. The reason this works for me is that it explains WHY we feel the way we do!
I've loved doing the course slowly over many months as suited me at this stage of my life on maternity leave :)
I seriously thought it was just me. That my negative feelings around surgery made me a BAD surgeon. In reality I was doing fine. I just couldn't see it and was making things worse for myself.
The coaching has really changed the way I think and feel. Thanks!

Before I worked with Louise I dreaded my surgery days. Now I still feel those butterflies but I see them for what they are. A signal it's time to go to work! I'm getting more comfortable every day. Thank you!
For me, Louise is the calm in the storm. She has an indefatigable ability to give me perspective, to help me order my spinning brain and to reassure me that I’m not alone and that actually there is a way to re-educate yourself to improve your confidence"
Would you recommend this course to a friend?
Absolutely, my non-vet husband should do it!
My surgical anxiety isn't cured but it gets better each day. I no longer ruminate on potential outcomes and can discharge patients without the 'what if' feelings that used to plague my evenings.
Thank you for the course. The techniques have helped with many things in life not just surgical confidence. I feel like I've got tools and know how to process difficult emotions rather than shy away from them and ideas of ways to help myself move forward and be a less stressed, more confident person.
