Programme Modules:
Induction
Designed for frontline staff new to General Practice who have started in the last 3 months. The workshop is an introduction into developing the skills and exploring key behaviours needed for a successful career within general practice.
Communication
This workshop explores how our communication impacts outcomes; during the session delegates learn key skills to handle patients effectively through their communication with a confident and consistent approach.
Signposting
This module focuses on the skills, knowedge and process needed to effectively signpost patients to the appropriate service aligned to individual practice protocols.
Time Management
This course provides you with the opportunity to share the actual challenges you have. It encourages delegates to explore why time management problems exist, understand their own style & approach to planning their time, learning how to be more effective with time available (because the work doesn’t go away!).
Resilience
This workshop enables employees to learn useful tools that will help them to bounce back quicker after a set-back, feel happier in their day to day role and the challenges they face, see the opportunities surrounding them (and ACT on them!), whilst feeling empowered to make changes.
