MECC Train the Trainer Chat to Change 1 Day Face to Face Course Blackpool

Free MECC Train the Trainer Chat to Change 1 Day Face to Face Course – Tues 12th November – Blackpool Football Club, Blackpool
Making Every Contact Count (MECC) is the opportunistic delivery of consistent and concise healthy lifestyle
information via brief or very brief behaviour change interventions, enabling individuals to engage in
conversations about their health at scale across organisations and populations.
Colleagues who work across health and care within the NHS, local authority and voluntary sectors have
thousands of contacts every day with individuals and are ideally placed to support health and wellbeing.
MECC provides an opportunity to discuss health and wellbeing lifestyle pathways which can support and
enable behaviour change for key risk factors including smoking, alcohol, healthy eating, weight, physical
activity, hypertension and mental health.
Using your day to day contact with individuals as an opportunity to encourage and deliver key health
messages to improve their physical and emotional wellbeing, small changes can be made.
People cannot be forced to change, but by using opportunities for raising the issue of a healthy lifestyle in
a non- judgemental way, people’s awareness, confidence and motivation to make changes in their lives may occur
from a brief conversation.
Who is MECC TTT training aimed at?
Making Every Contact Count (MECC) is an approach to improving the health of the population that everyone can
use, it is not restricted to one person, specific profession or organisation. It is aimed at giving staff from a wide
range of organisations the skills they need to encourage individuals to make choices that will prevent illness and
improve their lifestyles and wellbeing
For Lancashire & S Cumbria organisations, MECC can provide staff with the leadership, environment, training
and information they need to deliver the MECC approach.
For staff, MECC means having the competence and
confidence to deliver health and wellbeing messages, to help to encourage people to change their behaviour,
directing them to local services that can support them.

Wellbeing Conversations Training
2024-12-20 10:00 - 11:30
What is a wellbeing conversation?
The NHS People Plan 2020-21 sets out an ambition: “From September 2020, every member of the NHS should have a health and wellbeing conversation and develop a personalised plan. These conversations may fit within an appraisal, job plan or one-to-one line management discussion, and should be reviewed at least annually. As part of this conversation, line managers will be expected to discuss the individual’s health and wellbeing, and any flexible working requirements, as well as equality, diversity and inclusion.”

Vision for the wellbeing conversations
Health and wellbeing conversations are intended to be regular, supportive, coaching-style one to one conversations that focus on the wellbeing of our NHS people.
By encouraging organisations to embed wellbeing conversations across their system, we aim to create cultures where people feel heard and valued, and in which diversity is respected. This should, in turn, encourage us all to pass care and compassion on to each other, to patients and to our families.
Wellbeing conversations should consider the whole wellbeing of an individual (e.g. physical, mental, emotional, social, financial, lifestyle, safety) and identify areas where the individual may need support, signpost them to that support, and regularly monitor their wellbeing over time.

This is an interactive session and you will be expected to interact. Please ensure you have a camera and microphone available to attend the meeting.
