    Facilitation Training

    Facilitation is a key part of delivering an ECHO session. Here Dr Max Watson sets out what the facilitator does to keep a session focused, fair and on track.

    The facilitator’s role

    What a facilitator does

    1. Keeps the ECHO session focused on the subject of discussion
    2. Provides a neutral perspective and manages the process
    3. Keeps the session agenda on track in an efficient and relaxed manner
    4. Helps participants grasp the material presented and discussed
    5. Helps create an open, non-threatening environment
