With increasing pressures and demands on time, it can be hard to find the time for learning and development. Learning for seven minutes is manageable in most services, and learning is more memorable as it is simple and not clouded by other issues and pressures.
Clearly such short briefings will not have all the answers, but it is hoped that they will act as a catalyst to help teams and their managers to discuss and reflect on their practice and systems.
Each 7-minute briefing may vary slightly in its style, but the important thing is that you use them to generate discussion on the learning themes/key messages in a way that is relevant and accessible to your service, team and workers.
We encourage all agencies to record or evidence how they have used our 7-minute briefings. A 7-Minute Briefing Action Plan Template is provided below.
