Training and advisory services
I can work with you to develop and deliver bespoke training so you can:
- create a range of different styles of in-person community and public engagement activities and events
- design and deliver presentations or workshops that achieve impact
- use communication for behaviour change – basic steps, tools and resources
With my specialist experience in bringing in the public voice, in all its diversity, to health and research, through public and patient involvement (PPI), I can help to build up your organisation’s capacity for PPI by:
- designing and delivering staff training workshops
- writing strategy and delivery plans
- developing policies and guidance around best practice
I have trained and advised people working on media, communication and engagement for change projects round the world. My services are underpinned by a practice and evidence-based understanding of how to use communication for behaviour change.
I can design, produce and facilitate different styles of community and public engagement events. This will be tailored to your specific audience and what you want to achieve.
Engagement event and activity design, production and facilitation
Events could range from participatory educational activities, delivered in classroom-type or festival settings, to panel discussions, workshops and one-day conferences.
With a clearly defined purpose and audience, your event could achieve any number of outcomes. Here are just a few examples:
- community representatives able deliver accurate health information, for example around vaccines, or a new infectious disease, impactfully
- people from groups historically under-represented in health research getting involved
- children and young people inspired into particular careers, such as science or politics
- creation of communication content that leads to positive change
