Motivational Interviewing in Health Care

Learn Motivational Interviewing (MI) from co-founder Stephen Rollnick and a team of expert clinicians, with a focus on real-world strategies you can use in fast-paced health care settings. Whether you’re working in primary care, allied health, nursing, or mental health, this course will show you how to bring MI into your day-to-day consultations to make them more collaborative, effective, and satisfying.

Support Change - Without Needing to Convince or Persuade

As health professionals, we’re trained to solve problems. But when it comes to behavior change, telling patients what to do often isn’t enough - and can sometimes backfire. Motivational Interviewing offers a more effective alternative: a guiding style of communication that helps patients find their own motivation to change.

This self-paced course helps you integrate MI into routine care - even brief appointments. You’ll learn how to navigate common challenges like patients who seem unsure, withdrawn, or hard to connect with - and how to use core MI strategies to lift the tone of your consultations, reduce burnout, and improve outcomes.

With a focus on real clinical applications, the course includes practical demonstrations with a range of health professionals (including GPs, dieticians, and nurses) working with issues ranging from chronic illness to mental health and lifestyle change.
