Motivational Interviewing for Healthcare Professionals

This online physiotherapy CPD course introduces Motivational Interviewing (MI)—an evidence-based, patient-centred communication approach that enhances intrinsic motivation for behaviour change. Designed for healthcare professionals, the course builds a strong foundation in MI principles, including collaboration, evocation, autonomy, and compassion.

You’ll learn to apply the four core processes of MI—Engaging, Focusing, Evoking, and Planning—alongside essential communication skills such as OARS (Open-ended questions, Affirmations, Reflective listening, Summaries). Practical frameworks including the 5 Rs and 5 As are used to address ambivalence, improve adherence, and support sustainable change. Through case studies and guided practice, participants will integrate MI strategies into everyday clinical interactions.
