Our approach

We believe that people learn best when they are engaged and when the training resonates with their experience and understanding. Our training packages are carefully designed to:

Reflect real-world problems and solutions

Building on our knowledge and experience, our training encourages colleagues to explore how the knowledge gained can be applied to real-world problems

Focus on action

With colleagues encouraged to think about “what next” using tools such as next step planning, developing 30 day targets, setting goals and designing action plans

Build teams and support networking

By bringing colleagues together to jointly learn and work through collective issues

Share knowledge and experience amongst participants

With sessions designed so colleagues can share best practice and learn from each other’s experience

We have many tried and tested tools and techniques to support flexible, engaging and high quality training:

Best practice examples

Expert input

From inside and outside CF through expert panels and videocasts from NHS leaders and senior NHS clinicians

Real-world training

Using real-life case studies throughout the training, comparing what works and what doesn’t, and learning from real-life examples

Break-outs and plenary sessions

To give colleagues the opportunity to learn from each other, discuss materials and collectively address questions

Practical sessions

With colleagues having the chance to use tools in a supportive, learning environment
