Dear all,

 

Approval to post this information has been given by Anne.

 

I thought JISC subscribers should know of an orgainsation offering FREE TRAINING which will boost health promotion skills and add to CPD portfolios.    Please note that I have no involvement with this organisation other than as a course attendee.

 

Etal Training offer a number of courses fully funded by the NHS.  Of the 40 places on offer yesterday for Motivational Interviewing training in Bradford, only 20 seats were filled.  I am sure you will agree with me that this is such a waste of resources.  The  tutors do.

 

To help fill future seats (remember this is free), they would like to see more OH practitioners on their courses. They see us an ideal platform for use of their (free) Motivational Interviewing in particular.   I do not work in the NHS yet was welcomed with open arms. 

 

Motivational Interviewing training is only one of a number of free courses offered, at a national level, to health care practitioners across all disciplines (one attendee yesterday was a visiting pharmacist, another was a GP).

 

Some of you may already have had contact with or know of Jan Procter-King who runs the courses.  She is also editor-in-chief for the well established and very successful British Journal of Primary Care Nursing for cardiovascular disease diabetes and kidney care.

 

Course details can be found on http://etaltraining.businesscatalyst.com/index-1.html.  Take two minutes to have a look...it is worthwhile.

 

Happy training...
