Health promotion training

The Health Promotion Training Team provides and co-ordinates training to enable people working in Fife to contribute towards reducing health inequalities and improving the wellbeing of individuals, families and communities. 

The Health Promotion Training Team produce an annual programme which features a wide range of free training and is an opportunity to invest in our workforce through up-skilling and providing a space to share, reflect on and develop best practice. To do this we work closely with many of our voluntary and public sector partners to develop and deliver training courses and see it as a great opportunity to share local expertise, knowledge and information. 

 

Courses

We offer a number of training opportunities to suit everyone’s learning needs, delivered by local and national partners ranging from:

  • Face-to-Face Workshops
  • Virtual Workshops
  • eLearning Modules
  • Learning Bytes
  • Webinars
  • Learning Hubs
  • Blended Learning

Participants come from a wide range of backgrounds, which enhances the sharing and learning experience. 

 

Trainers 

The majority of our trainers are Fife based workers who are willing to share their knowledge and expertise through the delivery of training. Some courses are supported by national trainers from various services and organisations across Scotland.

Targeted Training  

As well as our core training programme, we can provide additional workshops tailored to the needs of specific teams, services, organisations and/or workplaces. For further information, please contact the training team on: fife.hitraining@nhs.scot  

Being a trainer through the Health Promotion Training Programme is a very rewarding experience as it provides a platform for me to utilise my skills as well as build on them. The training team is always on hand to offer support and guidance.

I have gained more confidence and knowledge from a Health Improvement perspective and how to use models as a guide - I am not daunted by the prospect of them and how they can enhance delivery and not be paper for papers sake.
