Action Learning Sets & Peer Support Groups

Action Learning Sets (ALS) specifically

Action learning sets are a group based (hence ‘sets’), structured process of self-managed learning (development and support) resulting in action. Reg Revans (1907 – 2003) the grandfather of ALS, said that they were essentially “Comrades in adversity helping each other”, which we think sums it up nicely and perhaps underpins why they may be so helpful in supporting colleagues today in the health, social and community care system.

Action Learning Set and Peer Support Training

(1 Full-Day and ½ Day Follow up after 8 weeks)

Making the best use of everyone’s thinking is of paramount importance for us to solve the many issues we face in our everyday work. Action Learning sets are the ideal environment to share our experience and learn from the wisdom and experience of our colleagues. Facilitated well, these sessions also provide a safe and confidential space for participants to receive support and encouragement from their peers.

Learning outcomes

On this training programme, participants will learn how to:

 

● Create an environment that supports everyone to think at their very best

 

● Form the question that they most need to answer to support their practice and clients

 

● Appreciate the value of independent thinking

 

● Facilitate and participate in, an ALS for the benefit of themselves and their colleagues

 

● Contract for a safe and confidential space for colleagues to share their experience.

Who should come?

This programme is suitable for anyone who has completed  PCI accredited training relevant to their role, with us or another accredited provider and wants to participate in and/or facilitate peer group support or Action Learning Sets with their colleagues.

The programme would also be a useful starting point for those wanting to progress towards supervisor training.

Coaching in Pain Management

Coaching in Pain Management for Coaches, Link Workers and Care Co-ordinators

In addition to the highly regarded pain programme for teams (see separate page), we have developed a programme specifically for those in ARRS roles. This is facilitated in 2 x half days, to allow for experience and development in between. Peak Health Directors, Tim, and Ollie, both started their coaching journey, working with people with persistent pain. After promoting this approach in pain management over decades in general practice and having kept up with the latest developments, we are delighted to be able to share, from what we know works well. This programme includes front-line, authentic experience in time-limited conversations and provides a space conducive to learning from each other.

We are delighted to be able to include people with lived experience of pain as part of our training team.  They will share their self-management journeys and ensure the learning is practical and effective.

Pain Management for HWBC's
Students in Computer Class

"An immersive, interactive and in-depth course for health care professionals wanting to develop their knowledge around supporting patients with their self-management of chronic and ongoing pain. On this course there was space and time for learning, sharing and practising skill sets to equip each individual with more tools in their coaching toolkit as well as valuable resources for further learning."
