INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP

In the overwhelming world of social media and communications, it’s hard to know what content to post for your clinic. In this interactive session, Dr James Ramsden – a veterinary marketing expert from Petpack – will talk about the fundamentals of communicating with clients through social media, and how to maximise the time you spend focusing on your social media and communications.

You’ll learn how to balance promoting your clinic through educational and emotional content, and learn what kind of content is best to support your clinic. This is an interactive session, so if you’d like to bring examples of your content and discuss them, that would be great!

About the Speaker

Dr James Ramsden is a vet with over 15 years of mass media and online marketing experience. James founded Petpack – Australasia’s only digital marketing agency run by vets, for vets, after recognising the need for effective and regular communication to pet owners to increase animal health outcomes. James, and the Petpack team of both marketing and veterinary experts, use digital marketing to help vet clinics in two main ways: 1) Growth – using websites, Google Ads and other professional tools for clinics that are just starting out or simply want to grow or enhance their practice traffic, and; 2) Bringing pet owners back – using regular, vet-curated content to educate pet owners and keep them returning regularly, rather than waiting for the next emergency. James and the team (including veteran office dogs Poppy and Griff) are always happy to have an informal chat about how they can help your vet clinic thrive.

Through interactive scenarios, we’ll practice streamlining the triage process to ensure it is efficient and effective. We aim to equip everyone with the skills needed to confidently manage critical situations and provide optimal care to our clients in need.

About The Speaker

I began my career in the veterinary industry in 2012 as the first and only receptionist at Snowy Vets. With no prior experience in the field, I embraced a steep learning curve, quickly mastering the nuances of veterinary care and client relations. Over time, my role expanded beyond the front desk to include responsibilities in client communication, marketing, and administrative tasks. As Snowy Vets grew, so did my responsibilities, eventually moving into a management role where I led a team and implemented innovative procedures to enhance the clinic’s operations.

I strongly believe that receptionists are essential in building trust between clients and clinics, reducing the pressure on veterinarians, and ensuring every client feels heard and cared for. My experience has taught me the importance of maintaining strong client relationships, improving patient outcomes, and driving business success.

1:20pm

INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP

Unlike doctors, vets are expected to treat more than one species! Just like a cat is not a small dog, ferrets are not small cats, a bird has different needs to a lizard, and a rabbit that hasn’t eaten for several hours can be an emergency.

In this interactive session, we will learn the unique traits of common exotic animals seen in general practice, and how these characteristics can affect their behaviours and health. We will find out what constitutes an emergency in exotic animal medicine, which animals might need special attention and more consultation time, and which cases may have public health implications.

INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP

Difficult client interactions are the number one cause of poor mental health in veterinary team members who frequently encounter verbal abuse, poor treatment and disrespect, complex interactions with distressed and grieving clients, unrealistic demands, guilt, manipulation, and the perception that we are in it for the money.

Cat will also share the strategies and framework she uses in her “Vet Complaints Support” (VCS) business, which is a subscription service in which clinics outsource the handling of client feedback, concerns and complaints to VCS while receiving support and guidance.

Getting a bad Google Review… it’s a clinic’s worst nightmare, right?! It can certainly be stressful to receive a negative review, but it doesn’t have to be all bad news. In this interactive session, Dr James Ramsden – a veterinary marketing expert from Petpack – will explain the importance of Google Reviews and how they drive a large percentage of your business, how to manage stress around responding to negative reviews, and strategies for getting the most and best reviews possible!

3:45pm

INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP

This seminar is designed for veterinary receptionists, who play a crucial role in supporting clients during one of the most challenging moments of their lives—making the decision to say goodbye to their beloved pet. We will explore how to handle that initial, often emotional, phone
conversation when a client contacts the clinic to arrange a euthanasia appointment. The focus will be on the receptionist’s role in building a compassionate rapport, carefully gathering essential information and triaging while helping our clients feel more prepared and easing the
fear of the unknown.
We will discuss the importance of asking sensitive questions to better understand the pet’s temperament, as well as the owner’s past experiences and level of understanding about the euthanasia process. Additionally, we will share useful resources, including email templates that can be sent to clients, offering guidance on topics such as assessing Quality of Life (QOL), recognising when it might be time, what to expect during the appointment, grief support and the
available aftercare options.
Our aim is to empower receptionists with the confidence to engage in these delicate conversations, particularly exploring ways to openly discuss costs and aftercare options ahead of time. This lecture is about equipping veterinary receptionists with the tools to foster a compassionate and supportive environment, making a difficult experience a little easier for everyone involved.

MINI SESSION

In this concise 10-minute presentation, “Sniffing Out the Cash – The Basics of Veterinary Practice Economic Flow,” we will unravel the fundamental aspects of cash flow within a veterinary clinic. This session offers a clear and accessible overview of how money moves through your practice, from client payment to payroll, and highlights the crucial role of understanding this flow in maintaining smooth business operations.

Expanded Synopsis:

  1. Introduction to Cash Flow Cycle
    We will begin with a brief overview of what cash flow is and why it is essential for the financial health of a veterinary practice. Understand the concept of cash flow as the movement of money through various stages of your business operations and its impact on day-to-day functioning.
  2. From Payment to Payroll: The Journey of Cash
    Explore the step-by-step journey of money once a client makes a payment. We’ll break down the process into key stages:

    • Client Payment: Where the money first enters the practice and how it is recorded.
    • Revenue Allocation: How funds are allocated towards different operational costs, including veterinary supplies, utilities, and other overheads.
    • Expense Management: The process of managing operating expenses, including salaries, rent, and maintenance.
    • Payroll: The flow of cash to employee salaries and benefits, and its significance in keeping the practice running smoothly.
  3. Understanding the Importance of Cash Flow
    Discuss why a clear understanding of cash flow is vital for making informed financial decisions, maintaining financial stability, and ensuring that the clinic can cover both short-term expenses and long-term investments.
  4. Identifying Cash Flow Challenges
    Highlight common cash flow challenges that veterinary practices face, such as delayed payments, unexpected expenses, and balancing income and expenditures. Briefly address strategies for managing these challenges effectively.
  5. Interactive Component: Quick Case Study
    Engage participants in a brief, interactive case study that illustrates a common scenario involving cash flow issues. This will help solidify their understanding by applying concepts to a practical example.

By the end of this presentation, participants will have a foundational understanding of how cash flows through a veterinary practice, from the initial client payment to payroll and beyond. This knowledge will empower practice managers and receptionists alike to better grasp financial operations, contribute to more effective budgeting and planning, and support the overall economic health of the clinic.

INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP

The way the Customer Care team communicate with prospective and regular clients can make or break their relationship with our clinic. In this session we will examine  verbal and non-verbal communication, the importance of first impressions and why building relationships is paramount to our patients receiving the best care possible.

11:10am

INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP

 

Supporting clients through their pet’s end-of-life journey is one of the toughest and most emotionally charged aspects of a veterinary receptionist’s role. Our clients are often overwhelmed with grief, navigating a complex mix of emotions- ranging from sadness, anxiety, and uncertainty to relief, anger, guilt and heartbreak. Working on the front line, receptionists are often in a position where they have to console and support pet owners without any formal training in grief support.

We will look specifically at the key touchpoints where veterinary receptionists play a pivotal role in providing emotional support to clients, from the initial phone call to schedule a euthanasia appointment to the final return of ashes. Through a better understanding of what our clients really need from us in these moments, we can tailor our communication to ensure we handle these conversations with empathy, compassion and confidence.

You will leave this session equipped with a practical toolbox of communication micro-skills, a refreshed vocabulary, and precise phrases to help you communicate effectively with grieving pet owners. We’ll provide real life examples, guides and handouts to enhance your ability to support clients through their most vulnerable moments, making a profound difference in their experience and your professional fulfilment.

INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP

How often in the last few months has someone asked you how you are or how your day is going, and you’ve said “busy” or some derivative of?

Most people are feeling busier than ever across the globe, let alone in our intense, demanding profession. Our to-do list feels never ending. Even ignoring the demands of work, the car needs a service, I need to remember the kids’ bookweek costume, my car is overdue for a service, I need to renew my passport and buy a present for the mother-in-law… It feels like it’s an impossible list. And it almost certainly is!

But is it helpful? Does it serve us? And mostly importantly, do we have control over this spiral of continually feeling overwhelmed by our busyness?

This short engaging session gives a fresh perspective (and real answers) on coming to terms with not being able to do everything, deciding what to prioritse, and practical, actionable ways to take back control of your to-do list (without adding any more to it)!
