Sage & Thyme Facilitator Training

Powys Teaching Health Board, in partnership with care homes and the voluntary sector, introduced Sage & Thyme in 2017. Sage & Thyme is a method of teaching the communication skills required to provide psychological support to people who are concerned or distressed, by recognising, listening and responding to their concerns.

The PTHB are looking for 2 individuals to train as facilitators, from across all disciplines and departments. This 2.5 day training is relevant to all staff managing complaints and concerns, from the very informal at ward or departmental level, whether this be from patients or staff members, to formal complaints through the `Putting Things Right` process.

This is an exciting opportunity to broaden your CV and enhance communication skills in all walks of life.
