Health Action Training
Thanks to funding from the Burdett Trust for Nursing, the Health Action Training (HAT) team is able to deliver its innovative training to nurses and midwives around the world.
The HAT team is specialised in delivering communications training for nurses and midwives. Their courses are accredited by the Royal College of Nursing, the Continuing Professional Development standards offices, and the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland.
Over 95% of participants strongly agree that HAT courses provide a positive learning experience and many comment that the HAT approach to communication training is game-changing. Participants are more prepared to deal with stress, to lead on solving problems, and to embrace perceived failures as learning opportunities.
“Health Action Training is a dynamic and creative approach to teaching communication skills. The HAT approach is underpinned by innovative methodologies, including applied drama, person[1]centred practice, actor training, and role play and is uniquely adapted to global healthcare. HAT provides an inspiring approach to enhancing healthcare professionals’ skills.” Professor Elizabeth Adams, Director of professional development Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, Elected President of the European Federation of Nurses Association.
