Making Every Contact Count (MECC)
Many staff are already seeing the benefits of Making Every Contact Count ( MECC) with their patients, service users and clients.
MECC is a behaviour change programme aimed at the prevention and management of chronic disease. The course is designed to provide health professionals with the knowledge and skills to carry out a brief intervention with patients or service users.
Update:
The MECC eLearning training programme certification has been modified. The eLearning now takes a total time of 3 hours (reduced from 4 hours) covering the six core modules;
2 x Health Behaviour Change; ‘Introduction to Behaviour Change’ and ‘Skills into Practice’
4 x Topic Modules on ‘Tobacco’, ‘Alcohol & Drugs’, ‘Healthy Eating’ and ‘Physical Activity’.
Two new modules on ‘Talking about Overweight & Obesity’ and ‘Promoting Mental Health & Wellbeing’ are available on completion of the core modules. Completion of the additional modules is encouraged to make the most of your learning and will now provide additional certification. CPD points are available.
