Sage and Thyme communication training
April 11, 2019
Notice Stress, hear concerns, respond helpfully
Sage & Thyme is a mnemonic which guides healthcare professional/care workers into and out of a conversation with someone who is distressed or concerned. It provides structure to psychological support by encouraging the health worker to hold back with advice and prompting the concerned person to consider their own solutions.
Sage & Thyme is designed for foundation level communication, suitable for any member of staff (e.g. medical secretary, outpatient clerk, nurse, physiotherapist, doctor, social worker, student) and for any specialty. It is suitable to be used with patients and carers, students, colleagues and children – anyone who is distressed or concerned – inside and outside of health and social care.
Sage & Thyme is taught in a 3 hour ‘Sage & Thyme foundation level’ workshop for up to 30 participants using three facilitators. It provides key communication skills training to NHS staff and other professionals working with patients or other people with concerns.
The following date is available for this training –
Wednesday 3 July 2019, 9am – 12.30pm, Hayward Lecture Theatre, Post Grad Centre, City Hospital
