Identify target audience and characteristics Training in pre- and debrief Provide pre-learning material to include background, theory, rationale Evaluations should move beyond feasibility and participant satisfaction
Obtain buy-in from stakeholders Consider engaging expert facilitators Debriefing allows self-reflection and managing difficult moments Participants surveys can explore immediate satisfaction and engagement, and perceived learning
Recognise situational challenges to implementation and adjust accordingly Provide feedback to facilitators frequently based on observations or participants' comments Provide skills training and actionable tools Patient surveys when feasible can identify changes in behaviours and improved outcomes
