Improve your confidence in having healthy lifestyle & behaviour change conversations with others with the MoreLife CPD accredited Training session

About this event

• Online event lasts 2 hours 

At MoreLife we understand that behavior change, although beneficial in preventing disease can be very challenging & during these uncertain times maintaining a healthy lifestyle has not been possible for all.

MECC will provide you with the skills, confidence and tools to have a positive and effective conversation about health and behaviour change; particularly around weight management, stopping smoking and increasing physical activity. Having even a brief chat with someone about what is happening in their life can be all it takes to make a positive impact to their health and wellbeing. That’s where the MECC training will help you.

What is MECC?

MECC is an approach to behaviour change. It utilises the millions of day-to-day interactions organisations and individuals have with other people to support them in making positive changes to their physical and mental wellbeing. This model is relevant for everyone who comes into contact with people and has an opportunity to encourage positive behaviour change. However, we know that telling people what to do is not the most effective way to help them change. Making Every Contact Count is about altering how we interact with people through having Healthy Conversations and learning how to spot opportunities to talk to people about their wellbeing.

Our CPD accredited Training course is 2 hours long delivered by an engaging practitioner covering;

1. What is MECC & How is it relevant to you and your job role?

2. Identify opportunities to start a healthy conversation around health & wellbeing.

3. Understand your own barriers and enable you to feel more confident in having a healthy lifestyle conversation.

4. Identify the key healthy conversation skills to support someone

To make sure you get the most from your training with us we would like to ask a few simple questions to help us tailor our approach to best suit your needs so participants will be contacted by email with a Pre Course Questionnaire to complete prior to training. All relevant course materials & key information will be sent to participants once training completed, along with the Course Feedback and Evaluation form which will need to be completed before the course completion certificate will be released.

We warmly invite you to join our Hounslow Tobacco Control Alliance workshop on 14 January 2025.

The government has set an ambition for England to become smokefree by 2030. Locally, we have increased our effort to tackle the use of tobacco in all forms and make the borough smokefree for all our residents. However, we still have a long way to go. The prevalence of smoking in Hounslow is 13.6%; in the more deprived areas, this rises to 18.9%. We would like your input to help us develop a three-year plan for tackling tobacco use and its inequalities in Hounslow.

The workshop will feature:

• A keynote talk by Mira Osinibi, Paediatric Respiratory Clinical Nurse Specialist.
• A summary of the latest smoking data in Hounslow.
• Workshops to identify priorities and model support for smokers across the system in Hounslow.

When: 2-5pm, 14 January 2025.

Where: Room 6.10 Hounslow House, 7 Bath Road, Hounslow, TW3 3EB.

Who: Anyone with an interest is welcome to attend. It will be particularly relevant for those who contribute to the tobacco control agenda in Hounslow, or who work with smokers. Residents are strongly encouraged to join and share their views.

Please sign up via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hounslow-tobacco-control-alliance-workshop-tickets-1097354058529?aff=oddtdtcreator

We hope you can join us to help inform and develop our Tobacco Control Plan for 2025-28.

This year, we're turning the spotlight on an urgent yet often overlooked intersection: disability rights and climate action.

A greener, cleaner, and healthier environment, if achieved in the right way, would vastly improve the lives of people with disabilities.

Hear from expert speakers from TfL, UCL, the University of Exeter, and more.

Whether it’s a marketplace with disability-confident employers and local disability groups, a fire-side chat with subject matter experts, or a panel on transport – there will be something for everyone.

Homeless Health Workshop

It is well known that people experiencing homelessness face significant health difficulties and inequalities with poorer outcomes than the general population. The average age of death for someone experiencing homelessness is 30 years lower than the general population. 

The Hounslow Public Health Team recently collaborated with local homeless services and homeless link to conduct a homeless health needs audit. These findings will be presented on Wednesday 30th October 1:30pm to 4:30pm on MS teams.

If you have an interest in health and in particular homelessness, then please join to learn how Hounslow can help to improve health outcomes for people experiencing homelessness. The Hounslow homelessness health inequalities project is part of the CORE20 plus 5 priorities.

The Health Outreach Team will be at:

Please join us for a lunch and learn which will showcase the Health Inequalities Research Findings in CORE20 areas.

CORE20PLUS5 is a national strategy designed to reduce health inequalities. The CORE20PLUS5 project aims to help us build an understanding of our residents impacted by health inequalities and develop and evaluate interventions to improve their health outcomes. There are 12 CORE20 areas in Hounslow. You can find out more about these locations in the link below.

During the lunch and learn, you will get to hear about the extensive data analysis and community engagement efforts that took place over the past six months (Jan-July) by nine local VCSE groups. This work has provided deep insights into the challenges faced by those living in the most deprived areas of Hounslow (CORE20 areas).

This event will present the findings from these activities, emphasising the voices of residents.

Attendees will benefit from learning the following:

• Health inequalities in CORE20 areas
• Findings from data analysis
• The merits of delivering targeted community engagement via VCSE partners
• Resident feedback
• How the findings link with current Health and Care organisation priorities and projects
• How next steps will flow into the new Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs).

Our aim is that Hounslow Borough Based Partners (BBP) and local stakeholders will come away from this event with a greater understanding of local health insight and inequalities and will work with us to help shape and deliver actionable steps towards improving outcomes in these communities.

VBA is a proven 30-second clinical intervention that identifies smokers, advises them on the best method of quitting, and links them to evidence-based stop smoking support.
