Personalised Approach to Learning and Support
While working in the UK, I’ve learned that every individual benefits from a personalised approach—one that considers their previous experience, cultural background, and past practices. When people feel valued for their unique expertise and history, it creates a stronger and more meaningful learning journey.
A personalised approach goes beyond the “one-size-fits-all” model. It adapts the content, pace, and support to suit each person’s specific needs, preferences, and goals. At its core, it’s about understanding the individual and responding to their circumstances in a thoughtful and respectful way.
Key Principles of the Personalised Approach
- Individual Assessment
Start by understanding the person—looking at their experience, culture, learning style, personality, and career goals.
Goal: Identify skill gaps, build on strengths, and unlock potential. - Targeted Support
Instead of offering general solutions, focus on what the individual truly needs.
Goal: Provide relevant support that builds meaningful skills and avoids repeating what’s already known. - Flexible Pacing and Delivery
People learn in different ways and at different speeds. Support should be flexible—whether through videos, reading materials, or hands-on practice.
Goal: Keep individuals engaged and motivated by allowing them to learn in the way that suits them best.
This approach is especially important when supporting internationally educated healthcare professionals. By tailoring training and mentorship to their unique background and qualifications, to ensure that time and effort are spent effectively—filling gaps rather than revisiting familiar ground.
