Training & Mentoring
VetAssist offers a range of training sessions in the following areas…
Communication Skills
Good communication is the heartbeat of a successful practice, for both clients and the practice team. With clients it is vital that they are dealt with in a professional and proficient manner. Whether it is on the phone or face to face, either way I can work with your Team to ensure that they can confidently be the voice of your business. Paying particular attention to looking at the Clients/ Patients experience or journey through the practice. This training is suitable for all team members, Vets, Nurses, Receptionists and support team. It can also be delivered to new team members covering the reception area who may or may not have Veterinary experience. Please contact me for more details and we can discuss your training requirements.
Nurse Consults
These are an excellent way to expand your services and bond with clients, while allowing Nurses to use their extensive skillset to help you develop your preventative healthcare business. Nurse clinics can give you an additional income stream that you may not already be charging for. Many practices have “Free” nurse clinics, while there are certain ones such as Developmental check ups that can be part of a vaccine package, there are also opportunities to charge a Vet Nurse Consult fee thus creating a revenue stream for the practice. These opportunities such as Dental follow ups, Pup and Kitten vaccinations, Weight Management, Disease clinics such as Diabetes and Osteoarthritis follow up appointments that nurses can do, helping to free up a practitioners time slots, utilising a second consult room and ultimately increasing practice turnover. For more details on what nurse clinics can bring to your practice and what type of clinics can be done contact me for a nurse clinic opportunity consultation.
Leadership and Management
What type of manager are you? How confident are you as at leading your team? Can you recognise management or leadership potential in your Team? Or maybe you have been promoted are looking to develop your management skill set.
You may also be looking at your Teams skillset or roles. Maybe you are trying to match their skillset to specific roles or are trying to develop roles within the Team and need to create job descriptions. If so contact me for a Management consultation.
Marketing your Practice
Do you have a marketing strategy or budget for your practice? No, well don’t worry it is something a lot of practices are struggling with at the moment and don’t necessarily know where to start. I can take you and your team through the importance of how to market your practice, face to face, on the phone and how to use digital platforms to enhance your business and most importantly engage with clients and create more touchpoints for clients to reach out to you. Suitable for all Team members.
