What you need to do to prepare for the intensive
1. Review therapeutic communication principles and techniques for Intensive on campus session.
2. Examine requirements for Assessment 2: Rehective analysis.

5. Bring your smart phone or equipment to record your role play for analysis.
6. Review Heron's framework in MyLO and bring questions about any parts that are unclear.
7. Download and print Heron's framework template for use in exercises.
Schedule and activities in the intensive
In this intensive there will be three activities:
1. Explanation of and demonstration of Heron's 6 category intervention framework (45 minutes approx.)
2. Working in pairs, draft and record interaction for your interaction with Mr Smith (45 minutes approx.)
3. Transcription and analysis of recording using template (90 minutes approx.). This will allow rehearsal of skills required for Assessment 2: Rehective analysis.
1. Explanation and demonstration of Heron's 6 category intervention framework
You will spend the hrst 45 minutes of the Intensive workshop in a large group. The group will review this video that is also available on MyLO for later revision.
Students to join a small group of 4 students. While you watch this video, make brief notes to help understand the 6 categories and when they can be usefully applied. Discuss the categories and their application in small group and feedback to class.

2. Drafting response to Fred Smith's story
In pairs, draft a script responding to Fred Smith's psychoeducation needs for information about possible experience of alcohol withdrawal, the use of an alcohol withdrawal scale and diazepam use in this context.
Decide on your role - nurse or Mr Smith. These roles do not have to be swapped. Your interaction can be around 5 minutes long. Try not to be too ‘heavily' scripted and to allow the interaction to progress naturally, even if this departs from your original ideas for a script. Stay focussed on the purpose of this meeting and interaction with Mr Smith (as per Mr Smith's story) and let this guide your interactions. Recording the interaction will allow you to have an accurate recording of your interaction, including verbal, paralinguistic and non-verbal components of your interaction to transcribe.
3. Transcription of interaction and analysis
Transcribe a portion of your role-play of your interaction with Fred Smith This need not be longer than 3-5 minutes long. Use the template downloaded from MyLO. Ensure that you comment on all aspects of communication including verbal, paralinguistic and nonverbal elements.
Categorise each of the nurse's interactions according to Heron's 6 CIA.
Finally, when you are satished that these categories capture the intent of the interaction, by considering Mr Smith's response analyse whether another interaction category might have been more useful or resulted in a different response from Mr Smith.
Are any of these preferable? Why is this so?
