TPC Health has been at the forefront of supporting practitioners to deliver more personalised care to the communities they work in for over 10 years. We recognise that shared decision making is a fundamental component to personalised care and the challenges that practitioners and patients face in engaging in these types of conversations. Our programme supports practitioners to develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to engage individuals in proactive conversations about what matters to them, and make decisions about their health and wellbeing.
Many training course focus only on the legal requirements and the policy behind shared decision making, and whilst this is obviously an important element to cover, feedback that we have received from practitioners is that they still don’t feel confident with what a good shared decision making conversation looks and feels like. We have therefore developed this programme to support practitioners to appreciate the value of shared decision making and their legal requirements, whilst also developing the necessary consultation skills and conversational frameworks to apply it. Our experiential sessions will also provide opportunities to practice real shared decision making conversations and receive feedback.
This programme was developed in partnership with NHS Birmingham and Solihull and NHS Herefordshire & Worcestershire.
Give your practitioners the necessary skills and tools to become communication experts.
For leaders, managers or practitioners who are looking to understand the core principles and skills of shared decision making so that they can learn to apply a personalised approach in their role and enhance the quality of their conversations.
Participants on our Shared Decision-Making (SDM) Skills Development Training session will gain a comprehensive understanding of SDM principles and practical skills they can immediately apply in their work.
By the end of the day, participants will leave with a toolkit of strategies, skills, and resources to implement shared decision-making effectively in their practice, ensuring that patients are empowered, informed, and actively involved in their care choices.
The programme is structured as a 1 day workshop. Prior to the workshop, participants are onboarded through a reflective process and briefing pack that supports them to prepare appropriately and gain maximum value from the sessions.
This is an interactive programme with an emphasis on skill practice and development. The programme will be delivered using a highly participative and experiential learning process supported by expert input. We will provide a set of tools and techniques to support participants to work effectively with Shared Decision Making.
The programme involves many opportunities to practice Shared Decision Making conversations so participants will learn to work confidently with the approach. We emphasise skills for embedding learning through on-going practice, reflection and planning as reflexive practitioners. During and between workshops we will emphasise on-going practice, reflection and planning as reflexive practitioners.

“The facilitators were very knowledgeable on topic and involved participants throughout training. Invited participants to share thoughts from own experience which made learning very applicable to practice. The role play on use of SDM option grid was very helpful”
“It was a well presented and very relevant programme, Im relatively “new” to working in my role in the community and I found it very meaningful and productive!”
“It gave me time to really think about how I have conversations with patients, and ensuring that I am giving them time to really discuss what is meaningful to them when making decisions As I am relatively new to my role I am still learning, and I need to be honest about that and become more confident in talking to the relevant members of the MDT to advocate for my patients The training today gave me confidence that team members are all keen to work collaboratively for the patients and in improving communication”
