Abstract
Face-to-face Healthy Conversation Skills (f2f HCS) are the mode of delivery of Making Every Contact Count in Wessex and other regions in England. During the Covid-19 pandemic, work with Health Education England colleagues to adapt our f2f HCS training has been undertaken to develop & deliver a 90min online "Supportive Conversations" training session for those supporting vulnerable, isolated people during the pandemic; around 60 people have been trained to date, largely working in voluntary and community organisations. The aim is to provide them with skills to have more effective and supportive conversations to help people maintain good health and well-being. We are collecting pre-/post-training evaluation data which we will report on and submit for publication.
