Specifically designed for General Practice Nurses, this NHSE funded course is aimed at practitioners who are looking to know more about Patient Activation and how it can benefit patients with long term conditions.

On completion of the course, each nurse will be a PAM Ambassador within their locality with transferable knowledge and skills. This extended skill-set will enable them to engage with their patients to become more activated while supporting colleagues to effectively implement PAM. Activated patients have been shown to benefit from better health outcomes, improved experiences of care and fewer unplanned admissions.

The programme will include:

  • A Train the Trainer two day workshop
  • A Coaching and Supervision two day workshop
  • Two one hour webinars

On the ‘Train the Trainer’ programme you will be trained to:

  • Understand the impact and applications of the PAM® tool
  • Understand the Triple aims and how PAM® can support better health outcomes, better experience of care and lowest spend per capital
  • Explore practical ‘how-to’ guides and discuss best practice for using the PAM® tool including administering the questionnaire
  • Identify how to achieve accurate PAM® results
  • Focus upon how to interpret PAM® results to inform a person-centred approach
  • Understand how to tailor approaches for people at low and high activation levels
  • Examine how PAM® can be used to lead change and bring about quality improvement
  • Facilitate and support others
  • Evaluate performance and give constructive feedback
  • Utilise materials to deliver training to colleagues in how to use PAM® effectively
