About the programme
As our integrated care systems continue to evolve, collaboration across Hospitals, GPs, Social Care, Mental Health services, local authorities and many other system partners becomes critical for success.
Action Learning is a powerful process to help groups work together on real problems and learn as individuals, teams and organisations. It is a real skill to manage and facilitate these effectively.
Based on requests from health and care partners, East of England NHS Leadership Academy will provide a training programme for Action Learning Facilitators starting in April 2023.
The course will boost Action Learning Facilitators’ confidence, sharpen their facilitation skills, and equip them to facilitate Action Learning Sets in a wide range of settings.
What will be covered?
This innovative course is delivered as a blended course with online learning, virtual workshop sessions and extensive online resources for the Action Learning Facilitator to use when managing Action Learning Sets.
The workshop sessions are very practical and experience-orientated, with a full Action Learning Set demonstration by the trainer and many opportunities for the delegates to experience and practise the skills.
The online resources include all the models and tools shared during the training, as well as guidance and forms for the facilitator and document templates to hand out to Action Learning Set members.
The virtual workshop sessions will be delivered as 3 half-day sessions across 3 weeks. The total learning hours are approximately 14 hours (workshops plus online self-study).
At the end of the training programme, the delegates will receive an Action Learning Facilitator training completion certificate and will join a roster of trained certificated Action Learning Facilitators
