Training
We apply a variety of training strategies to deliver workshops.
For example, discussions are based on structured questions and employ familiar resources.
Individuals are practically engaged in exploring resources and interacting as a group.
Participants have opportunities to ask or answer questions, etc.
Our workshop training equips participants with knowledge and skills for a healthy lifestyle. It empowers them to take control of their health actions.
Our Service Approach
Some of the ways our organisation work alongside people with multiple long-term conditions (diabetes, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, mental health, etc) include:
We assess the group/individual to understand their conditions and experiences.
Plan and apply appropriate evidence-based approaches to individuals’ / group support needs.
Communicate in simple, clear words, including translating into the person’s language for better understanding, considering culture and background.
Encourage self-management approaches such as digital communication: engaging with social media, receiving and replying to emails and engaging with our group chats.
Our participants have our contact for advice and further inquiries, and can visit clients where necessary.
We share decision-making with clients to empower individuals and offer practical and emotional support.
We signpost and refer people to appropriate services available in their local area for further support.
Review and evaluate clients’ progress and service delivery.
We work in partnership with other service providers that support people with multiple long-term conditions
Research and update information to understand what matters to people with multiple long-term conditions, hence identifying priorities for future long-term conditions.
