COGUK is helping Allied Health Professionals to make a difference in their roles through leadership speaker skills. COGUK Leadership Speaker Skills training is also a valuable team-building exercise, allowing AHP teams to function better as a team both through doing the training together, and through becoming better communicators as a result of COGUK training.
Recently COGUK have been working with Health Education England South West. The Somerset AHP faculty chose to use the 5-part module training provided by COGUK to improve their LSS but also as a team-building exercise in the coached sections

Case Study: 2022 Training for HEE SW AHPs
In spring 2022 HEE SW and COGUK created a bespoke training programme for AHP teams across the South West region as a collaborative pilot for the COGUK training programme. Listen to a discussion with Carrie Biddle on why she chose the training for her teams, and the final podcasts featuring the training participants.
Discussion with Carrie Biddle, HEE SW AHP Lead
“It’s a real practical skill, being able to speak with confidence, draw people in, manage your emotions and deal with questions and the uncertainty of what you might not be able to answer. That’s what people are looking for, the practical application of learning these skills and then being able to do them in action. That’s why I was really interested in the podcast at the end, because it ensures you have an output, and a great rehearsal for some of them before they go and do it in a real environment.”
– Carrie Biddle, HEE SW AHP Lead
Acknowledgements and Thanks
