HOPE Protocol [PDF, 420KB] - National Cancer Survivorship Initiative

) Tutor Training
Training for both tutors will include a highly interactive programme of learning, reflecting on
personal skills, recognising the underlying core values embedded in the programme, and
developing the competences required to deliver the HOPE programme. A manualised
delivery protocol will be produced for facilitators, which will assist future dissemination of the
programme.
The training meets many of the requirements of the NICE ‘Public Health Guidance 6:
‘Behaviour change at population, community and individual levels’ and includes:
Setting and agreeing patient-focused behavioural contracts (i.e. asking people to
share their plans and goals with others)
Intention-formation (i.e. helping people to form plans and goals for changing
behaviours, over time and in specific contexts)
Outcome expectancies (i.e. helping people to develop accurate knowledge about the
health consequences of their behaviours)
Personal norms (i.e. promoting personal commitments to behaviour change)
Positive attitude (i.e. promoting positive feelings towards the outcomes of behaviour
change)
Relapse prevention (i.e. helping people develop skills to cope with difficult situations
and conflicting goals).
Self-efficacy (i.e. enhancing people’s belief and confidence in their ability to change).
c) Venue
The venue for the SMP will be the Partnership Learning Centre at Good Hope Hospital,
Birmingham.
