CPD EVENTS

Veterinary nurses are at the heart of patient care, often noticing the subtle signs that an animal may be living with chronic pain. The Chronic Pain Symposium is designed to empower nurses through providing them with access to knowledge and practical skills, whilst building their confidence that they can make a lasting difference in the lives of their patients.
By attending, veterinary nurses will deepen their understanding of chronic pain, gain practical tools for immediate use, enhance communication with caregivers, and feel empowered to take a leading role in improving patient care and shaping pain management

A Shared Approach to Chronic Pain Education

Supporting dogs with chronic pain takes time, clarity, and consistency — all of which can be difficult to achieve in short appointments.
The CAM Member Zone brings professionals and pet parents together through trusted, evidence-based education that supports better long-term care.

Supporting Veterinary Nurses and the Clients You Care For.

The CAM Member Zone brings caregivers and veterinary nurses together through trusted, evidence-based resources that reinforce in-clinic guidance and help caregivers better understand, implement, and maintain chronic pain management at home.

Within the Member Zone, you’ll find resources for caregivers, alongside content specifically useful to professionals, including:

  • Expert-led videos from leading clinicians and pain specialists

  • Practical tools and printable resources that can be used in-clinic and shared with clients

  • Evidence-based articles to support conversations around pain, mobility, and long-term care

  • Bite-sized content to fit around busy clinical schedules

  • A supportive community of caregivers and professionals

  • Live Tea & Chat sessions for continued learning and engagement

See It for Yourself

We encourage veterinary nurses to explore the Member Zone firsthand and experience the quality of resources available to clients and professionals, supporting consistent messaging, saving time in practice, and improving client understanding and outcomes for dogs living with chronic pain.

Practice Training

Empower Your Team. Elevate Your Care.

At CAM, we’re redefining osteoarthritis care — empowering veterinary teams to deliver excellence through collaboration, team work and contextualised patient management.

Our OA A-Team Training Packages give every member of your practice the knowledge, confidence, and practical tools to advocate for better patient outcomes. Vet nurses lead the charge in client education, continuity of care, and long-term support — creating truly engaged clients who return for regular check-ins and are committed to helping their pets thrive.

With evidence-based training designed for real-world application, your whole team grows together — no wasted CPD, no knowledge gaps. The results speak for themselves:

  • Increased OA clinic attendence.
  • Increased service provision.
  • Increased medication sales.

Available online or in person, across single or multi-branch practices, CAM training transforms how your team — and your clients — approach pain management.

Empower your team. Strengthen your practice. Improve lives.
