🌍 It’s World Parasite Awareness Day
Parasites may be small, but their impact on animal health is anything but. This World Parasite Awareness Day, we’re shining a spotlight on the essential knowledge and practical guidance available from AMTRA to help SQPs support pet owners and farmers, in protecting the animals they care for.
AMTRA’s expert-led CPD resources cover the full spectrum of parasite challenges in both companion and livestock species—from worms and fleas to ticks, mites, and beyond. Whether it’s understanding life cycles, choosing the right treatment, or promoting responsible, sustainable parasite control, AMTRA’s CPD content empowers SQPs to give accurate, evidence-based advice every time.
By staying informed, we can all play a part in improving welfare, reducing disease risk, and supporting responsible medicine use across the UK. Explore our CPD modules today www.amtra.org.uk/CPDmodule

Our next LIVE CPD Academy webinar is this Wednesday (18 March) 13:00-14:00 entitled: Learning from errors with Pam Mosedale - https://www.amtra.org.uk/CPDmodule

In a busy work environment, things don’t always go exactly to plan. Occasional errors and near misses happen. It’s how we learn from them that really matters and these moments can become valuable opportunities for improvement. This webinar builds on the first QI session and explores how reflective practice, significant event audits, and root cause analysis can help us strengthen systems.
By fostering a supportive learning culture, we can improve team confidence, service quality, and outcomes for animals and customers.
