About the presentation:
When we tell a client their pet has cancer, it is like dropping a bomb. But it is not what you tell an owner about their pet’s cancer, it is how you say it that matters. No one likes to break bad news, but it is a complex communication skill that you will have to do thousands of times in your veterinary career. In this talk, we will discuss cancer communication challenges for you and the client, and practical strategies that you can use in your practice the next time you have to break any bad news to make it more efficient and more effective.
