As part of the Value Based Healthcare Programme and the MSK Programme, we and BNSSG CCG are offering Shared Decision Making training to primary care staff, particularly those treating MSK patients.

There are two training options:

A one-hour awareness raising session, which we hope all primary care staff will attend, on Tuesday 12 January (12.00 - 13.00) or Thursday 14 January (19.00 - 20.00). Update: If you missed these, you may now watch the recording by clicking here.

A three-hour Train the Trainers session -- this will be more skills-based and is particularly suited to first contact physiotherapists (FCPs), GPs, and care navigators. We hope all FCPs will attend this training, as SDM is one of their core competencies.

You may attend the latter training on Thursday 28 January (9.00 - 12.00), Tuesday 2 February (10.00 - 13.00), Tuesday 9 February (9.00 - 12.00), Tuesday 23 February (9.00 - 12.00), Thursday 4 March (15.00 - 18.00), or Thursday 18 March (9.00 - 12.00). Please note that there are now waiting lists for all dates, however.

The training will be run by Chloe Stewart, a psychologist from Sussex MSK Partnership, and Helen Patten, an advanced physiotherapist also from Sussex, as well as Shaba Nabi, our local GP. They are all national experts in Shared Decision Making and excellent trainers.
