CORE MAP is our original and generic behaviour change training for all health, social care and partner organisation practitioners who have the opportunity to support people to change their behaviour to improve their health and wellbeing. 

The NES MAP approach can be used to support anyone, in all kinds of settings and services, and for any type of behaviour change.

Practitioners learn to apply the MAP approach to enhance the provision of person-centred, evidence-based health behaviour change support for adults.

The training aims to increase confidence and skills in:

  • Noticing opportunities for change
  • Structuring person-centred conversations about change
  • Providing effective behaviour change support
