Thistle Foundation and the Scottish Government have collaborated to launch the Once for Scotland organisational development programme.
The Once for Scotland programme aims to ensure that at the heart of person-centred rehabilitation are good conversations focused on:
- systems and processes that support rehabilitation and self-management;
- services designed to prepare people to engage as equal partners;
- practitioners who are supported to work collaboratively, using outcomes focused and strengths-based approaches;
- greater capacity to connect people to ongoing rehabilitation and self-management supports within their community that supports health and wellbeing.
It also offers the opportunity to share national and local knowledge, peer support, and funding to develop and test service redesign.
Thistle are running three online information sessions to learn more about the programme:
Monday 20 February 2022, 2pm – 3.30pm
This session is open to all and offers an opportunity to find out about the support available with a particular focus on: Thistle Foundation’s systems-wide training in Good Conversations and Facilitators Training for Training Others in Personal Outcomes Approaches that is applicable to all sectors.
Monday 27 February 2022, 2pm – 3.30pm
This session is open to all but has a specific focus on the needs of Primary Care and Health and Social Care Partnerships. It is specifically targeted at primary care AHP teams and other inter-professional/disciplinary teams interested in developing a first contact Practitioner approach.
Monday 6 March 2022, 2pm – 3.30pm
This session is open to all but has a specific focus on the needs of third sector organisations interested in developing non specialist, person-centred rehabilitation and supported self management services.
