As a fully qualified and insured Vet Physio and Animal Chiropractor, I am a member of several governing bodies; the Institute of Registered Veterinary and Animal Physiotherapists (IRVAP), the McTimoney Animal Association (MAA) and the Register of Animal Musculoskeletal Practitioners (RAMP).
Each of these governing bodies ensure top level education, high-standards of practice, prioritize animal welfare and give owners confidence in selecting a practitioner for their animal.
As a member of these organisations, I am required to complete 25 hours of continued professional development (CPD) each year to stay up to date with current research and continue my learning. This can be online webinars, attending talks, completing courses and learning new skills to bring to my work cases.
