Course Summary

The course is delivered in a relaxed yet focused style. It is very practical in nature and built on sound adult learning theory and principles. Participants will have opportunities to design and deliver a short training input and will receive individual constructive peer and trainer feedback. The course will allow participants to develop their skills in a safe and supportive environment thereby increasing confidence in their ability to lead a group. Participants will receive a course booklet that contains background reading and supportive activities to help the transfer of knowledge and skills back to the workplace.

Introduction

The ability to deliver effective patient education in a group setting has never been more important than in the current climate. This course will equip you with the skills to use sound adult learning theory to plan and deliver courses which will harness ‘active’ rather than passive learning opportunities. The focus will be on helping you develop the skills of creating a comfortable learning environment that helps motivate clients to consider change. We examine group dynamics and how to handle more challenging group situations so that your confidence to both prevent and manage these positively will increase.

Teaching Methods

The development of greater self-empowerment underlies the whole of the group work skills course; this calls for learning methods consistent with that philosophy. Self-empowered learning means that people take responsibility for their own learning; it is a shared activity where everyone has something to teach and something to learn; it focuses on building on existing strengths and on the experience of the learner. For these philosophical reasons, the activities in this course are all based on experiential learning methods.

Course Aim

To allow participants to develop their use of motivational skills and techniques to support patient change. To design creative and engaging group based learning experiences that will provide effective clinical outcomes.
