We all know confidence is important when it comes to client interactions, clinical decision-making, surgery, charging for services, and career longevity.
At ACCess CPD we use a proven framework of Acceptance and Commitment Coaching (ACC or ACT) with a unique veterinary spin to help small animal, large animal, referral, university, and equine teams thrive.
Low confidence in the veterinary profession is common and can affect individuals in different ways at different times in their careers.
The effects of low confidence can vary, from a sense of unease when performing particular procedures to avoidance of difficult cases or surgery. This may be combined with a reluctance to charge appropriately for services.
Low confidence can lead to difficulties with client communication, lower ATVs, and increased operating and consultation times.
Low confidence and self-doubt may also play a major role in the poor retention rates of veterinary staff. In particular veterinary graduates.
Improving your team's confidence can result in fewer client complaints, higher client throughput, shorter anaesthetic times, improved team well-being, mental health, and staff retention.
At ACCess CPD we offer a range of services to meet your specific needs.
We can help your returning staff transition back into work after a career break, illness, or parental leave.
We can teach your recent graduates how to look after their mental health whilst growing in confidence.
Our surgical course can help your vets to recover after a poor surgical outcome or gain the confidence they never had.
And our general confidence course for vets and nurses can help all of your team learn how to be more level-headed and confident in practice.

This was such a great course! and I love how it was tied into veterinary medicine directly.
The course was fantastic. The reason this works for me is that it explains WHY we feel the way we do!
I've loved doing the course slowly over many months as suited me at this stage of my life on maternity leave :)
I seriously thought it was just me. That my negative feelings around surgery made me a BAD surgeon. In reality I was doing fine. I just couldn't see it and was making things worse for myself.
The coaching has really changed the way I think and feel. Thanks!
This course fit my learning goals perfectly I've improved my surgical confidence around difficult surgeries
I'm really happy with what you provided and how it has helped me.
"I'm loving the course and love taking it at a pace that suits my current lifestyle which is fab.
Thanks so much and well done on the course, you and Jo are fab :)
Before I worked with Louise I dreaded my surgery days. Now I still feel those butterflies but I see them for what they are. A signal it's time to go to work! I'm getting more comfortable every day. Thank you!
For me, Louise is the calm in the storm. She has an indefatigable ability to give me perspective, to help me order my spinning brain and to reassure me that I’m not alone and that actually there is a way to re-educate yourself to improve your confidence"
Would you recommend this course to a friend?
Absolutely, my non-vet husband should do it!
My surgical anxiety isn't cured but it gets better each day. I no longer ruminate on potential outcomes and can discharge patients without the 'what if' feelings that used to plague my evenings.
Thank you for the course. The techniques have helped with many things in life not just surgical confidence. I feel like I've got tools and know how to process difficult emotions rather than shy away from them and ideas of ways to help myself move forward and be a less stressed, more confident person.
