Introduction to Co-consulting: A method of providing psychological safety in teams overview

The Florence Nightingale Foundation is pleased to partner with NHS England and Improvement to provide a new and unique blended learning programme. The programme will equip leaders within International Nursing Associations (INAs) with the skills to facilitate a method of peer group coaching known as Co-Consulting.

This approach promotes a culture of psychological safety and enables leaders within INAs to support their members in exerting their influence and finding their voice. By developing a network of co-consulting champions within INAs, we can ensure facilitators are culturally competent and fully aligned with their members experiences of transition and adaptation to working within the UK Health and Social care system.

The programme will initially be available to a cohort of 25 leaders within International Nursing Associations (INAs). A further 7 cohorts will be provided over a period of 4 years.

What does the programme involve?

6 hours of online learning undertaken over 3 months (Sept – Nov) to prepare INA leaders as co-consulting champions who can facilitate and cascade co-consulting within their network. 1 x 3 hours live co-consulting practice (Dec 2021/Jan 2022) in the form of a virtual facilitated session for the champions to learn and practice the skills.
