  5. Training

  6. By the end of the session you should be able to: • apply Make Every Contact Count within your role • ask people about their lifestyle choices • advise people of facts and tips to help change unhealthy lifestyle behaviours • be confident to deliver Brief Advice • refer people to appropriate help and support • record your contacts • know where to go for more information

  7. Considerations • It might only take 30 seconds to ask a question. • You need to start from where the service user is, not where you think they are or where they should be. • You need to be open minded not critical or judgemental. • Brief advice is working with the individual on their health goals. You are not lecturing them or telling them what to do. • You are providing simple, clear advice and signposting. • You can’t always tell what is going on from outward appearances. You are not expected to be a counsellor.

  8. We can’t do it without you Start Making Every Contact Count today! Further training: There are options to take the training further such as Alcohol IBA training, Smoking Brief Advice and stop smoking service level 2 training.
