Training
We believe that those who deliver NHS Health Checks are critical to the success of the programme. We also believe that anyone who delivers a check should know why and how they are asking specific questions; doing specific measurements; what the results mean and how to communicate those results to patients. Our training at has evolved over the years by working closely with local commissioners and the national team to ensure that we continually provide high-quality training that is fit for purpose.
Underpinned by the Competency Framework we believe that the best way to learn is through interactive, fun and engaging training; Laughing while learning. Building the foundations of core knowledge then re-enforcing with practical examples helps delegates to learn and retain the important information needed to deliver effective NHS Health Checks.
Our experienced trainers are experts in the delivery to the whole spectrum of health care professionals involved with NHS Health Checks, with the ability to adapt the sessions to cover all training needs.
We:
- Incorporate local templates, pathways and lifestyle offerings into our training wherever requested.
- Like to support local authorities in developing their own training programmes.
- Include an online booking service.
- Provide staff surveys for providers these questions can be tailored) before and after the training courses to measure real change.
- Are flexible and training courses can be organised for the daytime or evenings.
- Provide Commissioners a tailored evaluation including trainer feedback for all Study Days.
Training is either held at our offices in Central London or in locally commissioned areas.
