Enhance Your Primary Care Practice with Relationship Health Insights

Many professionals in primary care are supporting increasingly complex emotional and relational needs in very short consultations.

It can be difficult to know how to respond helpfully without over-reliance on referrals, labels, or limited time.

The I Matter Relationship Health Learning Journey provides a practical, structured approach to help you respond with greater confidence, clarity, and effectiveness — supporting both your patients and yourself.

Who This Is For

• GPs and GP trainees
• Nurses and Health Visitors
• Social Prescribers
• Allied health professionals
• Community-based practitioners working with adults, children, and families

Why This Matters in Primary Care

Primary care practitioners are often the first point of contact for individuals and families experiencing stress, uncertainty, or relational difficulties.

Without a clear framework, these situations can feel complex and difficult to navigate within the time available.

A relationship health informed approach provides a way to understand what you are seeing, respond constructively, and support meaningful progress — even in brief interactions.

What You Will Gain

• Greater confidence in understanding patient presentations
• Practical language and tools to support conversations
• Skills to respond rather than react in complex situations
• A resource you can confidently recommend to patients and families
• Increased clarity in your own professional and personal relationships

Your Learning and Development Pathway

• Start Learning: Build core understanding through structured online learning (Level 1–2)
• Apply in Practice: Use frameworks in everyday consultations with patients and families
• Develop Further: Progress into supported learning and deeper application (Level 3 and beyond)
• Extend Your Role: Offer study support, contribute to your organisation, or work within a Locality Hub
• Become Certified: Progress towards becoming an I Matter informed practitioner and support others

What Practitioners Say

“This training has changed the way I practice at work and in my home relationships. I found the modules manageable and the group learning invaluable. The changes I have made have benefited me personally, my family, and my professional role.”

General Practitioner

“I now see many of my patients through a different lens. I feel more confident responding to highly escalated presentations and can see a way forward that makes sense.”
