Hospital Discharge Collaboration

Lincolnshire County Council colleagues from Adult Care and Community Wellbeing are working in collaboration with the It’s All About People team to roll out training on Strength Based Approaches into the Hospital Discharge Hubs across the county. 

The workshops will start on Monday 4^th December and will provide information on Strength Based Approaches and conversations, MINDSPACE and behavioural science, the use of technology, and then tools and techniques for applying the knowledge when communicating with people.  Following three interactive workshops there will be several ‘huddles’ where the practitioners will be given time to reflect on the application of this practice and provide some case studies so that the impact of this new way of working on the ‘people’ they are supporting can be identified. 

The training has already been rolled out with workers across Adult Care and more widely, and it has generated some really good feedback about the difference that this has made to the strengths based conversations that practitioners are having with people, even when practitioners are already working in a strengths based way.  This training is being delivered to practitioners across ULHT, LCHS, adult social care and the reablement team, so is a really great example of integrated working and sharing best practice.
