11. Educational Solutions for Workforce Development Enjoyed Meeting different AHPs/ networking, sharing stories/ positive experiences, relaxed, informal and friendly atmosphere Action learning, problem solving, hearing others’ examples and evidence for capabilities, presentation on change, learning about each other and becoming closer as a group, feeling at ease to speak openly Better understanding of emotional touchpoints, smaller action learning sets, action learning as a presenter – learnt a huge amount from it, information from NES, emotional touchpoints – want to try with students, breaking down elements of framework with discussion in more detail, increased confidence in action learning, the feeling of being able to help someone to make a decision

12. Educational Solutions for Workforce Development Didn't work 1.Slow pace, too much reflection, feeling slightly vulnerable sharing, slightly anxious about action learning 2.Out of my comfort zone, open questioning, very emotional, thinking about my own actions, action learning 3.Not clear about career framework, difficult to apply emotional touchpoints, would like more practice with enabling, more time considering domains, some negativity from other course members as I enjoy it, ifficult to structure questions as an enabler, more time to explore issues, Action learning very tiring

13. Educational Solutions for Workforce Development Actions 1.Try out active learning set and positive stories, say thank you to my boss, consider my leadership style/ role, share the framework with colleagues, use enabling open questions with staff in supervision 2.To consider my work in terms of the domains, listen more and not jump in, obtain feedback from staff and leadership styles, read the Quality Strategy, practice action learning, start to formalise reflections on practice, reflection with staff, approach my issues from a totally different perspective instead of trying to change staff 3.Ask more open questions, try action learning set at work, use curious questioning style in everyday practice, look at using touchpoints to get feedback about, gather evidence, look at embedding patient experience information in service evaluation exercise, explore student experiences, patient stories and how they can influence practice
