This training workshop discusses the types of preventative healthcare programmes that are available within local communities and aims to support healthcare professionals in discussing these options with patients; avoiding any stigma or bias. Specifically; the workshop discusses healthy lifestyle conversations resulting in referral to weight management services (both adult and child); smoking cessation services and diabetes prevention/remission programmes. The workshop includes practical exploration of patient and healthcare professionals’ experiences in order to achieve the most positive outcomes from these conversations.
