Is Motivational Interviewing for me?
This interactive, lighthearted online, live study day is suitable for any and all members of the team. Registered delegates will receive their personal set of CRAFT cards, which are used during and then following the event, plus a responsibility reminder training aid! Delegates will interact, participate and influence the content of the day which will use bespoke situations to demonstrate the MI skills and they will not be asked to role play or listen to us reading through endless power point slides.
We all went into our roles to make a difference; we feel that we can make things ‘right’ for service users and their families and we spend much of our time trying to do so.
If you spend your life explaining what your service users should, could, must or need to do then this is the course for you. Motivational interviewing is a style of communication that uses a guiding/reflective style to engage with people, clarify their strengths and aspirations, and utilise their own motivations for change, and promote independence of decision making.
If this is sounding a little flowery, in a nutshell, MI saves your breath, your time and you are more effective when it comes to people making decisions about themselves. The feedback we regularly receive is that MI also helps to avoid burn out.
What happens on the day?
We will use memorable explanations, demonstrations, interaction in pairs and most importantly relax and have fun. The extensive wardrobe and scenery available at our large training studio allows the tutors to create characters and situations to demonstrate the topics which are pertinent to our delegates. Face to face, and telephone consultation techniques will be included.
Though not listed below we will include many small breaks throughout the day to avoid screen fatigue

Document Management to improve efficiency
2023-11-08 13:30 - 15:30 | Online Session, United Kingdom
This 2-hour training, delivered virtually, aims to help administrators streamline the documents to appropriate team members in a timely manner. Additionally, a large number of documents are being sent electronically to the workflow emails of the practices so admin teams need to be able to interrogate these with a degree of confidence. NOTE training will only be relevant for practices on the EMIS system GP surgeries regularly receive 10s of documents daily with the larger surgeries receiving 100 or more on a daily basis. These include letters from hospitals, results of investigations or correspondence from other agencies. In most practices, GPs spend several hours a day reading these documents and taking appropriate action. This forms a bulk administration time that is spent away from frontline patient care. Often majority of the documents do have clinical information and needs a clinician to interpret and action. However, evidence shows with appropriate training and good practice 30-40% of the documents that could be read and coded by the reception team. Colleagues from Bromley by Bow Partnership will be leading on the training on how this can be achieved building on processes set up at his Surgery.

End of life care planning with people with learning disabilities
2023-11-16 12:30 - 13:30 | Online Session, United Kingdom
You are cordially invited to our next webinar which will be held online on Thursday 16 November 2023 @ 12.30 pm
How do you involve people with learning disabilities be involved in decisions around the end of life?
That is the question that the Victoria & Stuart Project is trying to answer.
The project has an inclusive team of researchers and is led by Professor Irene Tuffrey-Wijne at Kingston University London. Their research partners are Open University, MacIntyre, Dimensions, VODG and The Mary Stevens Hospice. The PCPLD Network is a collaborator on the project.
We have worked with a large team of people with learning disabilities, families, support staff and professionals in health and social care settings (including palliative care).
We have looked at end of life care planning resources that are already out there (see this webinar)
We have tried them out and thought about what works, what doesn’t, and why (see this webinar)
We have co-produced a new set of resources that we think will really help people.
In this webinar, we will:
Show you the new resources for ILLNESS PLANNING (end of life care) and FUNERAL PLANNING
Explain why we made them this way, and why we think this will work well
Explain how you can use them
Tell you how YOU can get involved in trialling the pictures
The webinar will be of interest to anyone working with people with learning disabilities, anyone working with people at the end of life, families and carers, policy makers and commissioners. People with learning disabilities are also welcome to watch the webinar. Most of the webinar is accessible, although there may be some difficult words and concepts. We recommend that you don’t watch it on your own, but with other people; and that you take some time to talk about it together afterwards.
Thank you.
