Newcastle MECC group

Study led by @beth_research found voluntary sector providers have the skills for MECC but lack confidence. Training should focus on assurance, listening, and signposting. Highlighting professional identity and existing resources can improve delivery. #MECC #PublicHealth

Paper 5/6 of my PhD, this time applying the behaviour change wheel to make recommendations for Making Every Contact Count training when delivered to voluntary and community settings: doi.org/10.1080/088704… @HaightonKatie @WilsoRob @DrAMRodrigues @MECCgroupNCL

🚀 Excited to share our paper on Making Every Contact Count (MECC). We analysed MECC implementation in the North East & North Cumbria region. Key findings & recommendations for policy and practice inside. Read more: bmjopen.bmj.com/content/14/7/e… #PublicHealth #MECC @MECCgroupNCL

My PhD systematic review is now published. I loved seeing the diversity of settings that brief interventions can be applied in, and the idea of peer delivery, with implications for MECC too @MECCgroupNCL @HaightonKatie @WilsoRob @DrAMRodrigues Read here: hindawi.com/journals/hsc/2…

Looking forward to the #SSM2023 conference and sharing my qualitative PhD research! #MECC @MECCgroupNCL

We were delighted to support this event where Fuse programme lead @DrAMRodrigues presented research exploring the implementation and delivery of Making Every Contact Count in the North East & North Cumbria #NENCMECC 📰Find out more in our research brief⬇️ fuse.ac.uk/research/brief…

@MECCgroupNCL @HaightonKatie @NorthumbriaUni Poster presentation by @beth_research about one of her PhD studies exploring experiences and perceptions of MECC conversations in the voluntary sector at #ImpSci23

Great to attend the #ImpSci23 Conference and present on 'Exploring MECC implementation within the NENC region of England'. @MECCgroupNCL @NorthumbriaUni

Such a great day at the #NENCMECC conference, and fantastic to see so much interest in MECC within voluntary and community settings! I really enjoyed workshopping what MECC means within the VCS and the unique barriers and facilitators within this setting. @MECCgroupNCL

A pleasure to showcase some of our MECC work along with my @MECCgroupNCL colleagues 😊
