Learning modules

Short modules for veterinary teams on the conversations that sit around end-of-life care - the ones nobody is trained for, and everybody has.

Each one is built to be finished in a single sitting, between appointments, by anyone on the team. They run in a browser on a phone or a desktop. No login, no plugin, no learning management system, and nothing recorded about who completed what.

These are samples. They are free to work through and free to send to your whole team. They are not certified courses and they carry no continuing education credit - they exist to show how I approach a training problem, on subjects I know well.

“I can’t decide. What would you do?”

One of the questions your reception team gets asked most often, and one of the hardest to answer well. Say the professionally correct thing and it lands as a door closing. Say the kind thing and the decision quietly becomes the clinic’s.

A branching scenario set at the front desk. You choose what to say three times, and every choice shows you what it would realistically cause. No score, and no wrong turn you can’t continue from.

“Nothing’s wrong.” Is that the same as alright?

From the Five Freedoms to the Five Domains. You assess a fourteen-year-old dog against the Five Freedoms and she passes all five - then you find out what the checklist had nowhere to record.

Where the Freedoms came from, what they got right, why welfare science moved past them, and how to use the Five Domains in a conversation with a family who is deciding. No scores, no thresholds, and no rule for when it is time.

Training built for your practice

These modules are demonstrations. If your team has a training need - one of these subjects or an entirely different one - that is work I do, including material delivered into your own education portal and badged as your practice’s own.

This work is psychoeducational and doula-based - it is not clinical counselling, therapy, or veterinary medical advice, and it isn’t a substitute for any of them.
