The Power of MECC MECC is about encouraging people to make healthier choices to achieve positive long-term behaviour change for better health and wellbeing among patients / service users and staff themselves
What does MECC Involve? • Systematically promoting the benefits of healthy living across the organisation • Asking an individual about their lifestyle and if they want to make a change • Responding appropriately to the lifestyle issue/s once raised • Taking the appropriate action to either give information, signpost or refer service users to the support they need.
MECC in the East Midlands • MECC needs: • A culture and operating environment • To enhance and develop existing functions and service delivery • Support staff to improve their own health and wellbeing • Offer staff a suitable environment and the appropriate skills and knowledge • To understand individual needs in the right way • Make the benefits of healthy living visible, accessible and consistent • Go beyond isolated health issues
What does theGuidance Say? • Much more than training staff • Organisational development and culture change • Led by staff within the context of their service and role • Staff health & wellbeing is integral • A collective responsibility – staff & organisation TOGETHER! • Grown from the needs of the public and what they need, want and expect.
The ImplementationProcess • Not one size fits all but promotes key principles: • Get senior managers & champions in place • Assess the organisations current position as a health promoting organisation (culture & structure) • Take a systematic approach to service & workforce development that supports & empowers service users to improve their own health & wellbeing • Use a team approach to implementation & training • Have systems & processes to capture progress • Support service users to engage with healthy lifestyle messages • Test, Learn, Adapt.
