The National Training, and Support Team
As Year of Care pilot sites developed the key components needed to support care planning (the house) the need for training for health professionals (the right wall of the house) became urgent.
The training and support team is now based in Northumbria Healthcare Foundation Trust (HCFT) and is available to work with heath communities who are interested in new ways of working to support people with long term conditions (LTCs) based around systematic approaches to support self management via care planning.
To contact the team fill out the enquiries form (Word 693KB) and email it to enquiries@yearofcare.co.uk
Background
NHS Diabetes commissioned Northumbria HCFT to develop a National Training model and quality assured Training the Trainers programme to cascade the approach within new health communities. The key message to emerge from following repeated rounds of delivery, feedback and reflection from both pilot and non pilot sites was that attitudes, skills and infrastructure have to be developed together. The programme was therefore designed to include support as well as training By the end of the pilot cascade training had been delivered to more than 1000 healthcare professionals (HCPs) by 40 quality assured trainers.
Read about the development and key components of this approach (PDF 1.1MB), and how this has been designed to address key barriers and challenges facing care planning teams.
The programme
- Includes a pre-training site visit with new sites, to ensure that people who could benefit from training attended. The team meet with senior members of the local steering group to agree common objectives.
- changes professional behaviour and is highly valued by those
participating.
- provides solutions to the challenges and dilemmas faced by health care professionals when working in partnership with people with diabetes to support self-management.
