Networking Day, 23rd November 2007, Crowne Plaza Hotel, Glasgow.
A warm and heart felt thank you to all who attended the Networking Day. There certainly was a tremendous contribution from all trainers! In particular to discussions on [health] inequalities, evaluation, preparing learners for assessment, strategic planning and more. It was certainly noted that many wanted more time to cover these issues which is very encouraging. Thank you, also, to our facilitators from the Course Development Group for their valuable input. Enthusiasm for the taster Creating Imaginative Learning session was great and interest in the wider Trainer Development Network was also duly noted.
Some comments from the day:
Glad I came as I’m inspired to pursue DEP training further.
Good day! Thanks.
Although I have not attended the IH:DEP course I found information on learning and inequalities very valuable for my role.
More chance to discuss different topics rather than focus on one per group
Re-read the course content to remind myself of the course!
More workshops, less breaks, great meeting everyone.
Deal more with live issues. How people use the materials and what can be improved.
More About the Core 6 Day Course
This well received course was developed by Health Scotland in partnership with specialist health improvement services and the higher education sector. Although Health Scotland do not run this course directly it has been delivered for a number of years by the majority of health boards in Scotland to a wide-ranging audience, from the voluntary sector to local authorities, NHS staff and all who have roles to play in Health Improvement.
Improving Health: Developing Effective Practice is an interactive and dynamic course which increases participants’ confidence and effectiveness in their health improvement role by providing opportunity to share experience and reflect on practice in a supportive environment.
Accreditation
As well as providing participants with an exceptional, underpinning knowledge of policy and practice issues to support a health improvement role, the foundation course is accredited by Robert Gordon University at 15 ScotCATS at SCQF level 9. The course has recently been revised with the brand new pack now available.
