Support your Workforce through a Facilitator Online Masterclass
Do you want to be able to better support your team and colleagues with their emotional wellbeing? The Florence Nightingale Foundation is offering a practical group coaching programme to enable you to better support the psychological safety of your workforce.
Our Nightingale Frontline® service launched in April 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, to provide a support service for nurses and midwives across the UK. At that time, our goal was to provide emotional well-being support for all nurses and midwives as they battled the unprecedented demands of the pandemic on a daily basis.
Today, nurses and midwives continue to manage the direct and indirect effects of the pandemic across health and social care, as well as ongoing challenges of seasonal pressures, staff shortages and emotional pressures that the professions can bring.
We are therefore offering this new Co-consulting Facilitator Masterclass to reach as many nurses and midwives as possible. By completing this programme you will develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to go on to facilitate supportive sessions in your own workplace, using a problem solving approach.
“I found the programme to be extremely useful and interesting in terms of learning how I can support my team and how I engage and deliver sessions as a nurse. The sessions enabled time to reflect, engage and truly embody the learning experience by knowing how I could best support my own team’s wellbeing. As a unit, we have a large focus on developing our own staff health and well-being and by participating in the programme; it enabled me to develop the skills and knowledge to best support my team. I feel it has given me confidence to actively listen and engage with others to co-consult within my own team.”
