Moreover, you will once again have the opportunity to watch MI in action with another role play as we go on to unpick ambivalence into change talk and sustain talk and look at how we can respond to change talk and sustain talk differently to help steer consultation on the direction of positive change.

In this week’s discussion, we ask about your impressions after the role play: how would you respond? What happens for you and the patient when responding to change talk in an MI consistent way? Join us!
