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

🎓 Have a new or recently qualified graduate among the team?
We are welcoming specifically new and recently qualified graduates onto both our 7 Steps consulting skills in September and our Managing Difficult Situations course in December.
Delivered by Alison Lambert, these courses will allow new graduates to come together learning how to nail their consult room experience, communicate well with owners and know how to have tricky conversations when they do arise.
We know that adopting the 7 Steps framework is good for pets, good for owners, the clinician and the practice! We also know it is great for giving graduates confidence in running consultations and by attending the difficult situations workshop too, allows them to have the toolkit of skills as they embark on their career with you.
