Overview

Embedding training across teams and organisations

Our training programmes have left a lasting impact on the teams and organisations we have supported.

We partnered with NHS Property Services to deliver the first-of-its kind training, enabling over 400 receptionists across England to support patients presenting with signs of loneliness. Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with impacts lasting long after the course ended.

Our corporate partner TransPennine Express embedded a version of our Introduction to Loneliness e-learning module into their onboarding programme for all staff.

Feedback from the facilitated training we delivered for a wide range of organisations showed that 100% of learners agreed or strongly agreed the training:

• increased their understanding of what loneliness is
• increased their understanding of the risk factors for loneliness
• increased their understanding of how to address loneliness
• they took something away from the workshop which will support their work

Feedback from our introductory and workplace loneliness e-learning modules also showed positive results, with 100% of learners of both modules agreeing they took something away from the course which will support their work.
