PRACTICAL APPLICATION AND QUESTIONS

The purpose of this session is to focus on helping participants translate learning into practice. Rather than summarising content already covered, speakers should draw out key takeaways and provide practical, realistic actions that attendees can implement within their own settings.

The session should:

• Reinforce the most important messages from the workshop.
• Explore how the learning applies to real-world situations.
• Provide practical tips, examples and good practice recommendations.
• Address common challenges, barriers and misconceptions professionals may encounter.
• Encourage participants to consider what action they will take following the workshop.
• Allow time for attendees to ask questions

Participants should leave with increased confidence and a clear idea of how to apply the learning in their day-to-day practice.
