Me First - Easylearning Modules

Me First, is an award-winning education and interactive, online training resource, that helps health and social care professionals build on their knowledge, skills and confidence in communicating with children and young people, and supports shared decision making. Me first has been developed over 8 years, with funding from NHS Health Education England, and is now part of the Great Ormond Street Hospital Learning Academy (GLA). We are delighted to be working in partnership with colleagues at UHB to extend the training offer. All our training is co-produced and co-delivered with young people. Our training and resources support NICE guidelines (2021) for working with babies, children and young people.

Me First aims to:
• Promote the use of the Me First communication tools and approaches to support communication with children and young people.
• Increase health and social care professionals’ knowledge of the barriers and challenges to communicating with children and young people, build on their existing skills, and increase their confidence through Me First training.
• Collect and grow a hub of resources to share ideas and expertise in communicating with children and young people.

The Me First programme is open to both UHB staff (free attendance), and external colleagues and stakeholders (incurs an attendance fee)
