New Health Action Training course starting soon!
Name of course: “Introduction to Health Action Training”
Date and time: weekly on Tuesday from Midnight-3am BST, starting on Tuesday 10th June, until Tuesday 26th August.
Duration: 36 hours of contact time.
Accreditation: This course is accredited by the CPD Standards Office.
Summary: This course aims to engage participants in various performance techniques essential to developing a fresh understanding of communication competency in person-centred care. Experiential methods and drama-based activities inspire reflection on practice. Participants develop a critical vocabulary and a proactive approach to teamwork, practice development, collective resilience, and self-care.
This course consists of live workshop-based sessions, delivered by an experienced international team of HAT trainers. Each session lasts three hours and is delivered via Zoom. This course is at the level of a graduate certificate, and so is a postgraduate course, therefore independent learning is important. Set in a Person-Centred approach, our workshops use HAT techniques drawn from the performing arts, actor training, and applied drama. We are not teaching you to be an actor, rather we are using techniques from acting and drama to enliven your learning on how to be a person-centred nurse.
The content of this course is flexible, and through discussions, we may cover many topics. The content of the course will focus on:
- Person-centred communication skills
- Sympathetic Presence and the Person-Centred Practice Framework
- Communication in challenging situations including breaking bad news
- Paying attention to self and others
- Effective breathing and relaxation techniques
- HAT techniques to manage challenging situations
- Communicating with those who respond atypically (IE, those living with dementia)
- Collective resilience and self-care and building support networks
- Dealing with emotions through performance techniques
- Team communication and group work
- Finding your voice and promotion of person-centred values
- Navigating cultural issues with compassion and kindness
