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 questions
  • Carry out an obvious patient examination
  • Make recommendations
  • Check understanding and signpost next steps
  • Book the next appointment or contact
WHAT DO I GET?
Each consultation is reviewed by a Onswitch approved coach and the consultation is scored against the Onswitch 7 Steps.

Feedback is given in the form of a report with a consultation score, breakdown of the 7 Steps and a national average benchmark to compare to. Written feedback is also given so that you can not only see how you have performed you can be supported in the development of your consult experience.
