Join us for this exciting discussion-style webinar to learn about motivational interviewing and how it can help you in practice.

Jan Procter- King RGN MA

I am a Nurse and my heart is in primary care. Working at practice, locality, regional and national levels during my 42 years nursing I recognised that evidence changed and that in turn changed clinical guidelines and this will keeps on happening, so being bang up to date is essential. However what never seemed to change was that despite my best efforts I couldn’t get people to do the right thing for their health. This was frustrating and disappointing in equal measure. The good news is that I found an answer – motivational interviewing – I look forward to explaining it, maybe you could avoid the frustration and disappointment when it comes to behaviour change conversations?

Dr Alison Oldam (Ali!)

I am a Clinical Psychologist by trade and spent 12 years working in the NHS up North! I specialised in working with children, young people and families with long term conditions such as diabetes, Crohns, epilepsy etc and it was in this role that I started learning about, using and then training in MI. I then went into senior leadership roles at Newcastle University and then Trinity College, Dublin where staff would ask me for advise and then invariable do something entirely different! Advice, I learnt, in any context is unlikely to work and back to MI it was. MI in leadership and management as well as in health care settings is a really great evidence based approach. Here I am in the pic dressed as a frustrated elephant! What is the elephant in the room this time?

People don’t change when we tell them to. Come and learn about why MI works in this space.
