MECC interactions take a matter of minutes and are not intended to add to the busy workloads of health, care and the wider workforce staff. Instead they are there to fit into and complement existing professional clinical, care and social engagement approaches. Evidence suggests that broad adoption of the MECC approach by people and organisations across health and care could have a significant impact on the health of our population.
