Sponsored Diabetes Motivational Interviewing Study Day

This interactive, lighthearted online, study day is designed specifically for GPs and Practice Nurses managing Type 2 diabetes. Registered delegates will receive their personal set of CRAFT cards, which are used during and then following the event, plus a responsibility reminder training aid! Delegates will interact, participate and influence the content of the day which will use bespoke situations to demonstrate the MI skills and they will not be asked to role play or listen to us reading through endless power point slides.

We all went into our roles to make a difference; we feel that we can make things ‘right’ for people with type 2 diabetes and we spend much of our time trying to do so.

If you spend your life explaining to patients with diabetes what they should, could, must or need to do then this is the course for you. Motivational interviewing is a style of communication that uses a guiding/reflective style to engage with people, clarify their strengths and aspirations, and utilise their own motivations for change, and promote independence of decision making.

If this is sounding a little flowery, in a nutshell, MI saves your breath, your time and you are more effective. The feedback we regularly receive is that the day is fun and helps to avoid burn out of repetition.

What happens on the day?

We will use memorable explanations, demonstrations, interaction in pairs and most importantly relax and have fun. The extensive wardrobe and scenery available at our large training studio allows the tutors to create characters and situations to demonstrate the topics which are pertinent to our delegates. Face to face, and telephone consultation techniques will be included.
