Teaching On The Run

Training clinical staff more effectively


We are delighted to be able to offer staff at Te Whatu Ora Lakes an apportunity to participate in the Teaching on The Run (TOTR) programme.

Some of you may have heard of TOTR which has been an incredibly successful and practical programme designed to train busy clinical staff about ways in which they can make their teaching more effective, using some really simple tools.

The TOTR progammes are delivered in a blended learning format (online preparation 30 mins - 1 hour and a 1.5-2hour workshop).

All workshops are suitable for uni-professional and multi-disciplinary groups across a range of settings (i.e. community, private, public, rural and remote) and for participants with varying levels of experience.

The Te Whatu Ora Lakes programme will be aimed across all health professionals involved in providing Clinical/Health education/training/supervision.

We are also able to organise a series for a group of professionals who have trouble getting to the multi-professional sessions that occur during the day.

If this would suit your group please contact Dr Steve Bradley or Nina Hartley.
