Peer to peer support and mentoring

Welcome

A cohort of cheerleaders struggling with the same challenges, when they might not want to admit to university peers if they are feeling overwhelmed. Specifically designed for clinics that may only have 1-2 new or recent graduates, so may not be in a position to ask the 'stupid questions' of colleagues without feeling vulnerable.

Medical Consultation

Communication and behaviour change

Developing not only of basic communication and consulting skills such as rapport and body language, but also creating a deep understanding and interest in how people make decisions, and how we can help the likelihood of them being compliant with our recommendations and treatment plans.

Difficult decisions and ethical challenges

Exiting the structure of undergraduate life where there is always someone else accountable for the difficult decisions, and new graduates suddenly find themselves faced with the real world of being the person needing to make all sorts of complicated recommendations where the lines of 'right and wrong' or 'best practice and adequate practice' are no longer as clear as they expected.

Testimonials

Clinical Dog Examination

"The feedback from staff across all teams has been fantastic and this is largely due to Jess' ability to relate to, and present in a style that our staff feel they are able to connect with almost instantly. I would strongly recommend any veterinary practice consider Jess when providing non-technical skills training to their staff."
