“Definitely has been a worth while cause and has opened my eyes to a different approach to tackling problems not just for physical exercise but other aspects of health care,”
Hazel Coburn, Midwife, NHS
“This style and approach will make conversations so much easier by giving patients the responsibility for their health and realising that it is okay if they are not ready to change”
Hendriette Knowles Community Liason Officer, South Oxfordshire District Council
“Thank you for this experience, I have certainly had my eyes opened!”
Dr Jill Neale, Junior Doctor NHS
Do you suffer from any of these symptoms?
A long conversation doesn’t mean a good conversation, and a short one certainly doesn’t mean an ineffective one. We break down conversation frameworks into 1, 5, and more minute chunks to help you have a positive impact – no matter how much time you have.
It sometimes ain’t what you say, it’s the way that you say it. Active Conversations will help you learn how to build a collaborative and productive conversation by uncovering your patient’s own reason for change.
Learn our top tips for turning a “Yes, but” into a “Yes, and”, encouraging a more positive dialogue which is more likely to succeed.
