MWI Animal Health UK Launches Vet Sphere Academy Continuous Professional Development Platform

Castle Cary, UK (12 November 2024) – MWI Animal Health UK (“MWI”), part of Cencora (formerly AmerisourceBergen), announced the launch of Vet Sphere Academy, a continuous professional development (CPD) platform designed to help veterinary practices and their staff meet CPD training requirements. Vet Sphere Academy aims to offer an efficient, centralised, comprehensive, subscription-based training service which is designed to empower a clinic’s entire practice team with the knowledge and skills they need to help them to excel within clinical and non-clinical training topics, industry trends, compliance requirements and much more.

“MWI UK is excited to introduce Vet Sphere Academy—a platform combining clinical, business and soft skills training—offering both online and face-to-face training options to veterinary practice teams,” said Emma Hunt, UK Country Manager, MWI Animal Health. “This service addresses the regulatory requirements for vets and veterinary nurses to complete mandatory CPD hours, while helping alleviate the all-too-common challenges practice owners face in budgeting and negotiating with multiple training providers. By centralising all training under one digital roof, Vet Sphere CPD aims to enhance performance, build team culture and expand the range of services practices can offer. With this solution, MWI UK reinforces its commitment to innovation in the veterinary space and providing exceptional value to our customers."

Unlike some current offerings on the market, MWI’s Vet Sphere Academy has been thoughtfully designed to help ease the burden of CPD requirements on the whole practice, with features aimed at streamlining administration, improving efficiency and reducing costs. Accessible via a user-friendly online hub, the programme offers categorised training content, remote learning options and meticulous course curation for an engaging and supportive team learning environment. By monitoring progress and supporting compliance with Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons regulations, the system helps learners meet CPD requirements while keeping abreast of industry trends through topical notifications.

• Courses, which are provided by carefully selected third party training providers, are verified by each provider for content accuracy and engagement, giving practices the peace of mind that their materials are up to date while ensuring courses are fun and engaging.
• Training is signposted by category and job role, providing easy access for users and ensuring they complete the training most relevant to their role and qualifications.
• Training is pitched at a tailored educational level with a progression-based system, creating a positive team culture where users can feel empowered as they steadily gain knowledge.
• Discounts on high-value courses ensure practices of all sizes and resources can attain the necessary training.
• Most courses can be completed remotely via the online platform, helping to minimize travel and veterinary staff’s time away from the clinic at off-site training sessions.

Talented, empowered veterinary teams create better patient outcomes. To learn how Vet Sphere Academy’s offerings can help your practice, go to www.mwiah.co.uk/professional-development/vet-sphere-academy.
