Colourful Consultation – Bitesize Version

Why do this course

This Bitesize version of the Colourful Consultation course covers the core principles and key skills contained in the full Colourful Consultation course.

Do you or a colleague sometimes find it hard to balance all the clinical, client, financial challenges that are part and parcel of veterinary consultations? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed at times by the never-ending uncertainty of clinical work due to the limitations of the information available from our physcial senses? Is this uncertainty eroding your confidence? Maybe you’re new to the profession or maybe you’ve even been consulting for a while and you worry that clients might complain about your advice – or even worse, sue you!? Perhaps you are trying to work out how much to guide clients and the how to do so without coming across as too pushy or too salesy? Maybe get you frustrated when clients doubt, dispute or resist your advice? Perhaps you struggle to stick to time? If you recognise any of these issues – as well as many others – such as feeling uncomfortable talking about money, this Colourful Consultation course offers a very practical means of tackling these issues. The Colourful Consultation model incorporates the standard problem-solving approach to clinical reasoning and resolution within a consensus-based approach to decision-making.

What's in it for me

It has been said that good communicators use ‘fewer better words’. This course will help you avoid a common mistake when communicating complex concepts – overexplaining! You will learn why the rule of 3 is central to human communication; people struggle to remember, compare or decide between more than three at once; people often need to hear something 3 times before they believe it is true. You will learn how to conceptualise and frame common clinical situations as well as dozens of phrases that help you explain risk, options and manage expectations using ‘fewer better words’. One of the key skills you will learn in this course is the art of articulating a differential diagnoses list and how subtle changes in the words and sentences you use can have significant impact in a client’s perceptions of your knowledge and ability.

Course Reviews

"Very well-spoken and put together videos. Highly recommend this course as it tackles some of the everyday issues dealt with in practice and gives useful advice on how to overcome these. Everyday practice goes beyond books and it is nice to know there is information out there covering an important aspect of this job. Looking forward to more videos."

"Really helpful area for the veterinary world to understand some of this material better because of the perfect storm we are facing of gender imbalance in younger graduates coupled with an over-emphasis on political correctness & the opportunity created for the relentless onward march of the corporates. No-one is really addressing the complex underlying issues which have created this situation, although there is at least some belated recognition that it has been allowed to arise. But this kind of information is really helpful to understand some of the mindsets which lie underneath the surface & help us to address some of the real concerns more appropriately. Many thanks."
