The Healthy Lifestyle module provided good background theory and practical ways of applying psychology to encourage change in my patients. I particularly liked the video examples and the Re-Fresher communication skills parts. Although I thought I was an expert in helping patients set goals, the importance of discussing values and also taking small actions was really helpful and will enhance my work.
