Lead Walker Training.


                                         LEAD WALKER TRAINING.
                                     Monday 22nd October 2012.                               
After researching training for lead
walkers on line, found a course provided by Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust.  The facilitator was a Health Improvement Specialist based at Accrington Victoria Community Hospital.  The course was for a full day, and we were given a background to 'Walking For Health', took part in a quiz, discussed motivating walkers and a leaders' roles and responsibilities.  During the afternoon we had sessions on risk assessments and route planning, everyone seemed to find the whole day interesting!
