Course Aim
Making Every Contact Count: An introduction to Behaviour Change is an eLearning programme. The programme has been developed for the health and social care workforce by the NHS, in partnership with the voluntary sector.
The purpose of the programme is to support the ambition of making health everyone’s business. The programme supports learning and development in behaviour change competence at level one and is designed to be used as part of a blended approach to learning and development in behaviour change.
The learning is specifically aimed at making sure that we all offer health chats in all contacts with patients, clients and members of the public. However, the skills required for effective health chats can be applied to the wider social determinants of health as well. Health chats can be used as a normal part of all our interactions at home, in the workplace and in the wider community.
