BradyCare’s new learning platform offers veterinarians access to a unique, interactive learning process that prepares them to make well-founded decisions before, during and after surgery.
"BradyCare will be helping animals by empowering people. When you find your purpose, the path becomes clear: We will make a difference for our animals and the people looking after them. I am convinced that compassion and care are as important as determination and persistence; for now, for the future, for the animals and for us,” said Dr Ursula Goetz, Founder of BradyCare.
The learning platform will eventually comprise ten modules and cover neutering surgery on both cats and dogs. Each module in the learning portal will comprise a number of short videos of particularly high quality that review the surgical process from first incision to final stitch. Each module will also include recommended practical exercises as preparation for operations, supplementary scientific material and final quizzes that enable vets to test their knowledge.
The platform targets all veterinarians, veterinary students and educators who perform surgical interventions on dogs and cats. NGOs involved in the humane control of stray animal populations can also benefit from the platform because all their veterinarians – also those who provide their assistance temporarily – can take the course. In so doing, NGOs can ensure that everyone is working on the basis of the same high surgical standards.
In 2022, the QATO Foundation supported the development of BradyCare’s first module of its learning platform. The module reviews the neutering of dogs and has served as a pilot module for trying out the model and testing the level of interest among the target group. The module was well-received, which is why the QATO Foundation decided to award another grant to the project in 2023. This time with the aim of developing the module on castrating dogs and bonus material on handling possible complications during castration and sterilisation respectively. During 2024, it is expected that interested members of the target group will be able access the module on dog neutering.
BradyCare is a Danish organisation that works to improve animal well-being. The organisation is keenly focused on boosting the technical and surgical skills and qualifications of veterinarians all over the world. BradyCare was founded by Dr Ursula Goetz in 2022. Dr Goetz has been travelling the world for many years to teach veterinarians and veterinary students in small animal surgery. Developing this learning portal has enabled her to reach even more recipients with her instructive approach to making complicated subject matter easily available. Ultimately for the benefit of the animals in need of surgery.
