Title:

[Retired] Making Every Contact Count (West Midlands)

Description:

Lifestyle issues, such as smoking, being overweight, drinking alcohol excessively and being physically inactive, can impact on the physical and mental health and well-being of us all. This e-learning supports healthcare workers, in their everyday work, to help people consider change by raising their awareness of the impacts of lifestyle behaviours on their health and well-being, being encouraging and supportive of change, and signposting them to further supporting agencies, where appropriate. The focus of this learning is to give users the confidence to start a very brief conversation which will help the person involved to consider change, feel encouraged and supported to change, and know where to go for further support if they feel ready to change.
