Our online training
In 2020, we created SAGE & THYME Online: a workshop that is equivalent to the face to face SAGE & THYME Foundation Level workshop.
It was developed with our expert communication skills trainers and underwent several trials with our nationwide network of SAGE & THYME facilitators.

| Number of delegates | 30 | 20 |

We can run the training for you
We can run a SAGE & THYME Online workshop for your organisation on Zoom for up to 20 participants.

Your staff can learn to run the SAGE & THYME Online workshop
There are two ways they can learn to do this:
Option 1 - Attend the face to face facilitator training (SAGE & THYME Foundation Level workshop + SATFAC course) and then use the resources we provide to teach themselves how to run the training online (may take another 2-3 days including practising).
Option 2 - Attend online facilitator training (SAGE & THYME Online workshop + Online SATFAC course + assessment)
As there is much less demand for option 2, we only run the online facilitator courses infrequently (when we have sufficient interest).
'SATFAC' is the name of the SAGE & THYME Facilitator course.
'MFT' is our organisation: Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust.
