The Dynamics and Processes course is delivered in person over 2 full days. The course is designed for health and social care staff who have completed the Essential Tools course and who wish to become VBRP® facilitators, and facilitate group VBRP® sessions. The skills learned are also transferable to situations where staff are required to facilitate group meetings, review processes, conduct service audits, intitiate reflective practice opportunities, etc.
