Workshops to Support Staff in Primary Care
With a national shortage of clinicians, pressure amongst team members, increasing workload and escalating patient expectations, there’s no doubt about it, healthcare is a fast-paced, fast-changing & pressurised environment to work in. So, it's more important than ever to give yourself and your staff the training and support you need.
Get the ‘you’ skills right and the team stability and cohesion will follow
Workshops that are tailored specifically for healthcare professionals, so you can learn in a supportive friendly environment with someone who understands healthcare.
All workshops are aimed at equipping staff with tools to increase their confidence and ability to handle patient and colleague interactions more effectively with skills such as conflict management, assertiveness, communication, stress management, staying calm under pressure and getting the best outcome for you and your patients.
If you’re interested in learning more, see the workshops page below or I’d be happy to discuss how I can help you or your team. Just complete the contact form.
I also offer my ‘Five Pillars of Resilience’ model that has been developed in answer to the growing need for personal and team resilience skills and it underpins the Resilient Team workshops. More details are on this page below.

The Essentials of Great Communication and Customer Service - Great customer service starts with understanding your patients and understanding yourself.

This workshop will equip staff with tools to increase their confidence and ability to communicate clearly and effectively, build positive relationships and handle challenging situations with angry or simply frustrated and upset patients. Includes the Difficult Conversations Blueprint.
Build Your Assertiveness & Confidence - What is assertiveness & why is it important? - Assertiveness underpins everything you do in all aspects of your everyday life and being genuinely assertive isn't easy and for many people, it's not a natural skill.

More about Team Building workshops with TetraMap® Profiling
Why am I like that? Why are we like that?
From conflict resolution to personal relationships and team collaboration, TetraMap® has a unique ability to provide a deeper understanding of human nature across all types of organisations & cultures. TetraMap® uses metaphor to explore human nature and how we communicate, collaborate and connect. It will help to simplify the complex, providing a deeper insight into who you are, who you’re team are & how others perceive you.
Virtual Team Collaboration
TetraMap includes a Virtual Training Suite, allowing for the option of online collaboration and pre-course preparation. This also enables senior managers/partners to participate online at the initial stages of the TetraMap process, allowing them a shared understanding of their team or organisation’s collective profile, if they are not involved in the individual team workshops.

Making the learning stick
So you spend lots of money, effort and time on training. The staff are all enthusiastic about it, but when they get back to the office, their bulging in-trays and then... Reality kicks in. After a few days the training and enthusiasm fades and it’s as if it never happened. Why is that? Because they haven’t had the chance to repeatedly used those skills in a meaningful manner.
So I use a learning support system. This provides online learning that strengthens and encourages your team during and after the training is completed.
As part of the learning experience, you will have access to an online peer support community and a Learning Platform for all training courses. This is through a Learning Platform called GiraffePad. An easy and simplified learning platform that harnesses the benefits of peer support to encourage you and your team. This includes 24/7 access to training resources such as videos and slides, further embedding the new skills and tools that you’ve learnt.
As budgets get tighter, making the case for learning and development will only get tougher but the ability to track the impact of training will go a long way to justifying the outlay.
