Explore the role of facilitation in co-design events and activities and develop key skills to build your facilitation skill toolkit in this interactive online workshop for healthcare researchers.
This training builds facilitators’:
- Knowledge of the key stages of co-design and why skilled facilitation is central to harnessing the knowledge of patients, carers and staff
- Skills and tools to build your facilitation toolkit — from building rapport, active listening and questioning through to managing time, difficult situations and creative working across both real-world and virtual settings
- Confidence to plan and lead co-design groups, and in working with your support team before, during and after each session
The Course:
- One highly interactive 3-hour online workshop
- Short pre-workshop resources and a reflective handout with key tools and frameworks to take back to clinical practice
- Contextualised to the needs of participants and teams
A very useful session, providing overview of principles and opportunity to discuss and reflect on the challenges and opportunities of facilitating co-design.
It was probably the best practical example of what good co-design facilitation looks like.
There was rich discussion between the facilitators and the other people in the session – lots of points I hadn’t considered but are really important to think about.
It was very helpful that the session facilitators demonstrated many of the strategies that were being discussed in terms of including content to put the group at ease, building rapport, demonstrate active listening etc.
We had great discussions in the breakout rooms where people shared their real-life examples of some of the things talked about – around active listening, questioning, difficult situations.
It was all relevant. The session was really well run.
It was really good to have a collection of agreed perspectives and tools.
