1 day virtual course over Zoom. If you spend your life explaining to the people you support - what they 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.

Head along to this special Huddle on Thursday 16 October, 9.30am - 11am, to join colleagues across health, social care, the Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) sector, and the University of Lincoln as they showcase how personalised and strengths-based practice is making a difference.

They’ll share how people’s own stories are being brought together with population health data insights to capture the real human impact of personalised care - the changes that numbers alone can’t always tell.

With this new understanding, we can transform and redesign services so that they truly meet people’s needs.
