ConsultCoach
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
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
So one of Team Onswitch need a tooth sorted
Been grumbling on through lockdown and now needs this
So a trip to the dentist
All safe and secure
Full PPE and spaced out appointment for deep cleaning etc
Assessed and recommended root canal work
The next day this arrives in the post - yes actual paper not an email or text or call or chat ......an actual letter
Clearly laid out
To the point
Time bound estimate
With pricing
Very clear and impactful
So made us ponder veterinary estimates for those non urgent work ups and ops
Given the root cause of many difficult situations is mismatching between estimate and final fee this approach is timely and clear
The letter is unusual as many folks dont get letters very often as most communications are text or email or app based
So this stands out
You can hold it
You see it
You stop and focus
So one option for all non urgent procedure is a written and posted estimate ...
What do you think?
It’s clear
It’s also time limited
Worth a ponder ....
Time to have a business health check and see what might help

Happy birthday to Werrington Vets🥂
A full year of trading in a pandemic for a new practice and so pleased to see the results so far
Congratulations 🥂
Opening your own practice is a dream for so many people and now is a good time
Even in a pandemic now is a good time to be the local community focussed, service quality led new practice in town!
Understand your local catchment area
Who will join you and why?
What will be your compelling reason to change to you?
Why would anyone leave one good practice to join you?
So understanding the core essential success factors in a new practice is step one
So start with our “Open Your Own Practice” day
Just like the team at Werrington Vets did
Learn what really makes a practice tick and why successful ones are successful
Learn what to avoid doing that so many do!
Next day in February

When a client asks you on web chat or email for a price for an everyday fee ...Tell them!
Please don’t say “ring us”!
Reduce inbound calls means answering everyday fee questions on apps,emails,web chat
Save time
Reduce inbound call
Better still put prices online
