Consult Coach
ConsultCoach is a unique feedback process that provides individual support and insight for clinicians, guiding you towards optimal client communication.
A smartphone is used to capture audio visual records of consults, which are then uploaded securely via a web app, reviewed remotely by the Onswitch team and scored against seven key communication criteria.
You get personalised and confidential feedback that will help you refine your consulting technique, whilst clients and pets get the best care – all without any disruption to the normal flow of the day.
ConsultCoach is a unique service provided by Onswitch and offers a number of benefits:
- Tailored CPD investment in individual team members
- Personalised opportunity to develop in the consult room
Consult Coach is available for $250+gst per individual consultation reviewed.
Why is it important?
Adhering to a standard consult process bonds clients through trust, supports the team and improves patient outcomes through better client conformance.
ConsultCoach uses the 7 Steps, a simple and clear set of guidelines to help vets and nurses deliver superior consults, developed from the Calgary Cambridge model used in medical schools across the world. The model is based on the principle of building an open and trusting client / clinician relationship through a standard process – asking for information and listening to the client, collecting evidence through a physical examination, explanation of findings, recommendation and planning of next steps, followed by a decisive close:
- Prepare yourself
- Create a rapport
- Ask open questions
- Carry out an obvious pet examination
- Make recommendations
- Check understanding and signpost next steps
- Book the next appointment or contact
Testimonials
The Veterinary Conference program has been released!
Alison looks forward to joining you - see what is on here!
Ed the cat joined a team for a workshop Alison was delivering on her Australian trip!
Always nice to have a furry friend join in, even to sit on the materials 🐱🐱
Alison spent the evening with BSAVA talking about how to have conversations with clients in the unplanned consults.
We covered a lot of ground and the journey starts well before the consult took place.
Start with the “Bit before you”
What has happened before you say hello?
Life is complex and we do need to know more about how owners end up in front of you.
Their journey matters,
Their start point matters,
And people care deeply about their pets.
Of course we went a bit off piste into skills gaps, loo roll choices and ethical challenges … but we did! Worth a listen if you have access ☺️
