Time sometimes compromised by work priorities • Good to have time out to attend action learning sets • Useful to have specialist facilitators to explore issues and challenges in practice
Evaluation Comments • Would have preferred not to have to write anything – just attend and discuss • Influencing Grid very relevant to HV/SN practice • Helps to establish a local network between new HV/SN starters • Should be available to all new starters
