In order to fulfil their responsibilities under the NHS Manchester Tackling Stress at Work strategy, line managers and supervisors need to have knowledge and skills to identify sources of work-related stress and how to address them.

The course will help participants to take up issues and resolve problems at the departmental and organisational level, using a risk assessment model to identify what can cause stress at work; and to develop strategies to tackle some of the root causes of stress.

The course is not about helping individuals to ‘cope’ with stress that they may feel personally – but by providing skills, knowledge and tools, it should help to avoid that stress in the first place.

Course dates:

• 16 August 2010 - Forum Health Wythenshawe
• 19 October 2010 - Ancoats Primary Care Centre
• 4 November 2010 - Forum Health Wythenshawe
• 13 January 2011 - Boardroom, Mauldeth House
• 7 February 2011 - Room G33 Cornerstone Centre

To book a place, please complete and return a course nomination form to Learning Development, 2nd Floor, Mauldeth House, Mauldeth Road West, Chorlton, Manchester M21 7RL or Fax to: 958 4058.
