We’re looking for CSP members to join our community of ambassadors to help us spread the word about our Stronger My Way online hub

Please note: our earlier videos were filmed against a busy background which some viewers may have found overstimulating/inaccessible. To improve the accessibility, our more recent videos use a blue background to make the viewing experience more comfortable.

What is a Stronger My Way ambassador?

CSP director of practice and development Ash James talks about how the hub can benefit you and why you should become an ambassador

As a Stronger My Way ambassador, we encourage you to use the hub’s resources to reach out to other audiences beyond the patients you see so that your colleagues and other healthcare professionals get to hear about it. By doing this you can also meet your CPD needs.

What do ambassadors do?

Here's some of the ways you could support us as a Stronger My Way ambassador:

  • Organise a peer-to-peer learning opportunity e.g. put Stronger My Way on a meeting agenda in your workplace and highlight the resources to colleagues
  • Initiate a teaching session for other healthcare professionals adapting it to your audience or weave it into in-service training
  • Share our campaign messages on social media
  • Promote the hub resources to key local stakeholders e.g. social prescribers or influential contacts in your workplace or local area
  • Run a strengthening event or give a talk in your local community or with a local employer
