MECC Vaccine Conversations Training

Building on the foundations of the ‘Good Conversations’ workshops run in Y&H, we have commissioned a new Vaccines Conversations workshop aimed at people who are in regular contact with members of the public, this initial offer of 20 workshop (circa 600 places across NE & Y&H) is aimed at trusted community champions who are already embedded in our communities. Subject to demand we hope to extend this offer to local authority Covid hub/trace teams and health and social care staff.

Concept and Objectives

The rollout of the Covid19 vaccination programme has been rightly lauded a huge success however inequalities amongst some eligible populations can present a risk to population health and more often negatively impact our some of our poorest communities and/or risk groups. Our conversations our powerful therefore the provision of skills training than uses the principles of Making Every Contact Count (MECC) and Motivation Interviewing (MI) is an important skill that can be utilised to combat disinformation and myths and whilst providing the necessary reassurance and confidence in what is a safe and effective vaccine.

The skills training covers:

  • How can we work together to build vaccine confidence, what we know and how this links to health inequality
  • Core skills and processes (OARS, Evoke-Provide-Evoke, Decisional Balance, and the 3As)
  • Skills practice – Building confidence in the vaccine
  • Resources that staff can use to respond to questions and concerns

The session will be interactive and include modelled conversations that showcase the core skills and processes being used. The application of this work can be far-reaching. Although this is focused on the Covid vaccination programme, these skills can be utilised for childhood immunisations, flu vaccine, cancer screening and other health-promoting activities

This provision has been funded by NHSEI as part of the North East and Yorkshire Region Covid-19 support programme and will be delivered in partnership with PHE Y&H & NE and Regional MECC Networks for Y&H & NE.
