Work in Progress

This is a system that is currently (June 2015) being brought in to AMBIT training - but is not yet fully operational.

What is this?

• A peer-to-peer support system for a pair of AMBIT Leads in one team to connect with a pair in another team.
• This relationship is established during the AMBIT Lead training
• Allocation of AMBIT peer-to-peer partnerships:
• Peers are allocated by the AMBIT training project team before the AMBIT Basic Training Day 3 (AMBIT Leads)
• The criteria are variable but will include similarity of work, geographical proximity, etc
• We emphasise that this is a WORK relationship, not a social relationship!
• There is no block on the formation of alternative or additional peer-to-peer relationships.

What is the intention?

• To keep AMBIT on the agenda of a local team
• To create an opportunity for AMBIT Leads to co-train their own team alongside a visiting AMBIT Lead (or AMBIT Local Trainers) from another team, using Local AMBIT training session plans
• To increase the confidence and competence of the AMBIT Leads
• To create teams that are not only Well connected internally, but externally, too - across the the AMBIT Community of Practice.

How might it work?

• Introduction at the AMBIT Basic Training Day 3 (AMBIT Leads)

Barriers for this to work

• It could be exposing for an AMBIT Lead from one team to talk to the AMBIT Lead from another team about what is making this work hard.
