Virbac launches free ‘hyperthyroidism 101’ CPD module

A major animal health company is offering a free new CPD module for clinicians on feline hyperthyroidism.

Virbac announced the six-part series, “Hyperthyroidism 101 – A Toolkit for the Modern Veterinary Team”, can be found at its learning hub.

The module promises a “comprehensive refresher for the whole clinical team” and is suitable for vets and nurses of all experience levels.

Presented by Sam Taylor, an RCVS-recognised specialist in feline medicine and a European specialist in small animal internal medicine, the CPD is said to focus on real-word clinical decision-making and give vet teams practical tips for improving patient outcomes and supporting client compliance.

Sessions

The bite-sized sessions cover the full patient journey from diagnosis through to treatment and long-term management:

• Session 1 – Introduction: Thyroid health in the modern UK feline population
• Session 2 – Clinical Signs: From classic presentations to subtle, easily missed indicators
• Session 3 – Current Treatments: Overview of available options and where medical management excels
• Session 4 – Practical Monitoring: Achieving and maintaining euthyroidism
• Session 5 – Prognosis: Supporting long‑term quality of life and managing owner expectations
• Session 6 – Thyronorm Overview: How Thyronorm can be integrated into clinical practice

Virbac announced a deal in December that saw it acquire Thyronorm, a liquid product intended to make it easier for clinicians and pet owners to manage hyperthyroidism.
