Free health and wellbeing training for NHS and Council colleagues

Building on the success of our virtual training courses, we’re pleased to offer free health and wellbeing training for our NHS and local government colleagues in Dorset.

Since the start of the pandemic, we've trained 1,266 people in 120 virtual workshops. Using our expertise in behaviour change, we support individuals to initiate lifestyle changes that benefit their physical health and general wellbeing. Further to that, our workshops equip to you to guide people you work and interact with to make healthy lifestyle changes.

This rolling programme of free virtual training workshops are available to Our Dorset colleagues and workforces; our NHS trusts as well as Dorset Council and BCP Council. We often hear of difficulties organising dates, venues and staff cover. Now, you and your colleagues are invited to simply book and join when you’re free.

Our workshops will inspire your staff; their patients, colleagues and friends to adopt healthy lifestyle changes. They are:

  • 75 minutes long
  • Delivered via Zoom
  • Are interactive
  • Open to a maximum of 20 people

Taking care of your own health and wellbeing. Supporting others take their next step to LiveWell.

“For such a short course, I learnt a surprising amount! Fantastic training, would highly recommend!”

How does this work?

The tailored approach LiveWell Dorset uses to come up with solutions to the things that are stopping us achieving our goals, is based upon work done by University College London developing the COM-B model of behaviour change. In this model, all behaviour is influenced by understanding a person’s capability to change, their opportunity to change and their motivation to change. By understanding which of these is the biggest barrier to change, we can tailor support accordingly. This model of behaviour change is at the centre of the support we offer, online and in person.

When you register with LiveWell Dorset, we ask you some questions about you and your health (how much you smoke, how active you are, how much you drink and how much you weigh). We store that information and use it to shape our service offer to you – such as the advice we give or the extra services we connect you to. The only people who will see this information will be those involved in the delivery of the service and management of the data. If you would like to use extra services (such as slimming clubs and pharmacies) we have to share this information with them. For us to be able to put you in touch with these services, we must have your consent to share that information with the service (we’ll ask for that later, when if you sign up for extra services).

Before we can sign you up any further, we need to know:

  • You're happy for your personal information to be shared with LiveWell Dorset.
  • You understand what information may be shared and why, and that at times, our contact to you may be supported by technology partners, who have the same data protection standards and safeguards as we do
  • You acknowledge that you can withdraw your consent at any time by informing LiveWell Dorset.
  • You understand that if you do not give consent or withdraw consent then it could be difficult for us to connect you some of the services we offer.

If you require any more information to help you make your choice then please contact the LiveWell Dorset team on 0800 840 1628. All telephone conversations at LiveWell Dorset are recorded for quality and training purposes, and stored whilst you are registered as active within the service.
