More than ever, it is important that those working within the NHS, social care & supporting 3rd sector organisations are given the opportunity to gain confidence and skills in supporting people to change and maintain behaviour which improves their health and wellbeing. The NHS Education for Scotland MAP training programme was developed to provide a ‘route map’ to behaviour change, bringing together the specific skills that professionals can use to support their patient/clients with behaviour change, as well as a system for deciding which skills to use and when. The MAP model is generic enough to be relevant for all behaviours, conditions and types of consultations and interactions so the training is suitable for a wide variety of practitioners in both health and social care.

This training on the MAP of behaviour change will take place in Cowal Community Hospital (training room). More information on the MAP training programme can be found on the NES website here.

Please note that online pre-training MUST be completed prior to the training. The pre-training is onTuras (https://learn.nes.nhs.scot/). Please create an account (if you do not already have one) and then search for the MAP of health behaviour change.

Please also note that unfortunately lunch will not be provided. There is a hospital canteen on site.
