Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing
Delivering Patient Empowerment, Shared Decision Making
Delivering Patient Empowerment, Shared Decision Making
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a technique to facilitate behaviour change by drawing out a patient’s own motivations and goals, rather than imposing those of the health professional.
- By placing greater importance on the patient’s autonomy, MI techniques out perform traditional advice-giving in terms of improving health behaviours and adherence to recommendations.
- Effects persist even when MI is used in brief consultations - such as the few minutes in the clinic setting.
- MI is easily adapted for use by all health care professionals and non-clinicians, such as local patient and peer support groups.

Child Death Immersion Programme
Doctors and police officers are required to work together to respond to the unexpected death of a child. This short course tackles evidence from Serious Case Reviews which indicates that a lack of understanding of respective agency roles can cause a breakdown in trust and communication, and lead to increased anxiety.
On this one-day Child Death Immersion Programme, you'll be one of 5 doctors and 5 senior detectives. Together, you'll work together through high-intensity exercises and realistic simulations in our £7m fully equipped hospital and healthcare simulation suite. While unexpected child death is rare in the UK, it has a big impact on those investigating its cause – making this course an important way for you to build valuable experience.
When you complete the course, you'll understand not only the technical process, but also non-technical skills, such as how it feels emotionally to work alongside police and doctors in a collaborative and respectful way.

Renal Conditions - 'Moving On Up Together'
Working together to manage paediatric-onset renal conditions moving into adult services
Advances in medical care have led to the many more paediatric kidney patients surviving into adulthood with conditions that not so long ago would probably have been fatal in childhood. Whilst clearly very good news it can lead to a daunting experience for the MDT as they provide care for patients with conditions with which they are unfamiliar. This is in addition to the well documented challenges that the patients and family face as they move into adult care. This free educational day for paediatric and adult MDTs involved in looking after young people with kidney disease. The day will cover some of the more complex renal conditions moving to adult services.
