Study led by @beth_research found voluntary sector providers have the skills for MECC but lack confidence. Training should focus on assurance, listening, and signposting. Highlighting professional identity and existing resources can improve delivery. #MECC #PublicHealth

Study led by @beth_research finds that brief health conversations in voluntary sector are naturally occurring and beneficial, but face barriers like funding instability and need for specific training.
