The 4-day training programme is delivered via Zoom or Teams.

It consists of:

• an initial 2-day Training in the PCI Core Curriculum skills, covering all the skills needed to deliver the coaching intervention.  This 2 days is split across 4 half-days and is followed by:
• a skills development and supervision programme making up the second 2 days of the 4-day training:
  • 4 (x 2 hr) monthly group Skills Development Sessions that focus on the coaching conversation and how to put the skills into practice to achieve the best outcomes, along with guidance and support around delivering the role;
  • 6 Individual Supervision Sessions, alongside a coach’s own caseload of patients.

We find this is an effective way for coaches to learn and develop the skills.

The whole 4-day programme covers a period of 3-4 months.
