Based on our former nationally accredited client care qualification which was specifically developed for the needs of veterinary practice staff, and which has now been awarded to over 250 students
The aim of the programme is to equip veterinary receptionists, nurses and other practice staff with the key skills required to effectively manage the Client - Practice relationship, and for them to be able to demonstrate these skills in practice
Unit 1 Working with Clients
Introduces students to the key skills required to work effectively with clients. Students will learn the importance of basic client care, and have the opportunity to develop an understanding of how they can modify their own behaviour to improve their relationships with clients.
Unit 2 Managing the Client - Pet bond
Introduces students to the concept of the Client - Pet Bond, how this governs the relationship between the practice and the client, and how to avoid or manage conflicts between the needs of the client, their pet and the practice. Students will also learn how to manage the end of the relationship when the pet dies or is put to sleep, and how to handle client's needs sensitively following the death of their animal.
Unit 3 Maintaining and Improving Client Services
Introduces students to the tools and techniques required to handle client complaints such that the client's needs are met and the practice learns from the experience. Students will learn how to maintain a professional manner, question and listen effectively, and the importance of accepting, acknowledging, recording and reviewing the complaint.
