Big Wheel's training courses are famously effective, really changing people's working practice and inspiring confidence and enthusiasm.

Our training sessions are a mixture of dramatic presentations to develop people's understanding and interactive exercises to model real-life practice.

NB: We don't engage participants in scarey role-play, unless specifically commissioned to do so - please be reassured!

"It was great learning how messages can be put across using theatre. I can't believe what a powerful tool it is - you could make people remember and think about anything."

Sally Lagan, Service Improvement Lead, Tees Valley Critical Care Network

Some courses last a whole day or even two days. We also offer short workshops that might be part of a larger training day, or a 'twilight' session. We sometimes deliver the whole training, or share delivery with an appropriate specialist. 

There are three main types of training we offer:

• General issues like Service Improvement, Networking, Partnership

• Specific challenges e.g. introducing a new IT system, complying with new legislation

• Professional development e.g. presentation skills, teacher training

 

We work always to the specific requirements of our very varied clients, so even 'off the peg' workshops are carefully adapted to be exactly what is needed. Effectively, all our training is tailor-made. For example, we present a presentation skills workshop specifically designed for NHS professionals.
