Our daily work involves engaging with patients or the public through surveys, interviews and clinical consultations. Many of our programmes are aimed at motivating patients, through information sharing and encouraging self-reflection, to consider and adopt behaviours that promote a healthy lifestyle. An educational video has been developed to inform the public and healthcare professionals about
person-centred care.
In addition, the Centre supports significant training of healthcare professionals, specifically in motivational interviewing techniques for use in 'Care and Support Planning' consultations with patients.
