Every health care professional knows that lifestyle change takes time. But what happens when you haven’t got sufficient time to talk to your patients about the options and benefits? Through our new ConvaTec Live webinar #Chats4change, we’ll be showing how it is possible to start a healthy conversation and make every contact count.
Wednesday 23rd June
11am (EST) 4pm (BST) 5pm (CET) 6pm (EEST)
Let’s talk living with a stoma.
People living with a stoma face many challenges – many of which are completely outside of their control. But some such as diet, exercise, smoking and drinking can be managed. By following just a few straightforward steps and making a couple of simple changes, most people with a stoma can live a healthier, active life.
So why is behaviour change so hard? And why is it so difficult to address from a healthcare perspective?
We’ll be exploring:
- How to develop Healthy Conversation skills
- The secret to effective patient-centric communications – questions and listening
- How a quick chat can make a difference
- Techniques to support people in making positive change
- Patients’ attitudes and challenges to health behaviours
- How to empower people to support their own health and wellbeing
