THE PERFECT CONSULT

IMPROVE YOUR PROFESSIONAL FULFILMENT

MASTER THE PERFECT CONSULT

Learn how communication and consultation skills can improve your professional fulfilment, bond clients and improve business outcomes

“Dr Claire’s course, The Perfect Consult, really took me by surprise. I thought I was already doing a good job of consulting and I guess most of us do. I went into the course with some reservations but I was quickly impressed by the practical techniques I picked up and put to use the next day. I saw an overnight improvement in getting clients on board with recommendations and returning for rechecks. Turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks afterall!”

MASTER THE 5 PILLARS OF THE PERFECT CONSULT

MODULE 1. INTRODUCTION

This module introduces the foundations of communications skills which is at the heart of the perfect consult. Building on this, you will gain insights on how to be more client-centered in your consults and the barriers to client communication that you can overcome.

MODULE 2. CONSULTATION MODELS

In this module, you will learn how to apply four key consultation models, learn how to use role play, video and observation to effectively develop your communication skills and unpack the art of giving and receiving effective feedback.

MODULE 3. MAKING THE CONNECTION

In this module we explore the importance of building rapport using a variety of communication techniques. We look at how to use open and closed questioning in getting a detailed history and how you can show your respect for the pet owners’ ideas, concerns and expectations. In this module we also disclose the best way to deal with long lists of problems in one short consult.

MODULE 4. GUIDING THE CLIENT ALONG

The key skills of summarising and signposting are the focus of this module. You will learn the principles of effective information giving and learn a model for breaking bad news to clients. You will also learn how to critique a colleague’s attempt at delivering complex medical information.

MODULE 5. MAKING A PLAN TOGETHER

You will learn the pros and cons of shared decision making and a model to do this effectively in practice. You’ll discover more about the client-centred approach and how its different to the vet-centred approach and the principles behind safety netting.
