A small-group, practice-focused consultation series for Health Improvement Practitioners working in primary care.
FACT in Practice offers a structured space to reflect on real clinical work, sharpen brief-intervention skills, and strengthen confidence within the realities of time-limited consultations.
The focus is on how you work in sessions — refining clinical moves, strengthening brief interventions, and supporting confident decision-making in primary care.
Groups are fixed, time-limited, and intentionally small to support meaningful discussion, skill calibration, and shared learning.
What to Expect
FACT in Practice is designed to be practical, focused, and relevant to everyday work in primary care.
Participants can expect:
A structured, small-group consultation space
Discussion grounded in real, current clinical work
A focus on how interventions are delivered within brief sessions
Practical feedback that can be applied immediately in practice
Normalisation of common challenges in the HIP role
Opportunities to learn from others working in similar settings
Sessions are interactive and collaborative. Each session typically includes a brief practice focus, consultation on one real case, and clear take-home refinements to support your work between sessions.
Participants are encouraged to:
Bring a case example from their current practice
Engage reflectively with the group
Experiment with small, specific changes between sessions
The emphasis is on skill-building, clinical clarity, and confidence within time-limited primary care consultations.
Best suited to HIPs who have been in the role long enough to be working independently and drawing on their own clinical experience in sessions

-
A brief orientation to the session, including a shared practice lens to guide the work (for example, agenda setting, values clarity, or follow-up planning).

Participants bring real, current clinical challenges from their work. These are explored collaboratively, often using brief, coached role-play to practise clinical moves and explore alternative approaches in real time.
-
Key learning points are identified and refined, with attention to transferable skills that can be applied across different clinical situations.
-
Each session concludes with space to reflect on take-aways and identify small, practical changes to trial in practice before the next meeting.
