SUMMARY:Non Medical Prescribing Update Day
DESCRIPTION:Provider: Bournemouth University \nCourse Leader: Matt Hartwell \nThis course is suitable for: This training is aimed at anyone with a non-medical prescribing qualification. \n  \nCourse information: \nAn essential part of continuing to become a safe and effective NMP is to maintain competence and undertake annual CPD and revalidation as specified by their supervisor. It is also important NMPs are kept up-to-date with any changes that affect safe prescribing such as changes to the law and medicine safety.  As part of Bournemouth University and Trusts commitment to safe prescribing this half day update is designed to meet those needs. \n  \nPlease apply here

SUMMARY:Motivational Interviewing
DESCRIPTION:Motivational Interviewing is an evidence-based approach that supports individuals to explore the possibility of making positive healthy and pro-social changes in their lives. The research states that it is one of the most effective and accessible approaches that helps to increase motivation to change and actualise a move into long-term sustainable actions. While rarely is one approach a panacea\, MI has been recognised as a very effective way to align practitioners delivering interventions within a person-centred\, guiding and evoking style of working. \nThis training workshop uses a variety of integrative and skills-based mediums such as information exchange\, live demonstrations\, practice sessions\, videos and audio to promote learning\, reflection and skills development. \nThe aim of the workshop is to facilitate practitioners to gain an understanding of Motivational Interviewing in the context of their role and explore foundational skills and principles that help support and cultivate behaviour change in practice. \nThe Learning Outcomes are: \n\nTo introduce the basic clinical approach and principles of Motivational Interviewing to understand the fundamental spirit and ethos of Motivational Interviewing\nTo learn the 4 processes & structure of a typical MI conversation\nTo understand and practice how to listen and respond effectively to key language\nTo consider where MI may fit in practice and how it could be applied\nTo explore opportunities for continued learning & skill development\n\nApply here
