Conflict Resolution and Personal Safety Training for Ambulance Crews
Ambulance staff work in highly pressured environments, where anything can happen. Maybo’s industry-leading conflict management, assault avoidance and personal safety training equip ambulance crews with the skills to dynamically assess risk in an unfolding situation and to respond appropriately to maintain their personal safety and influence a positive and safer outcome.
Proven experience and expertise
Ambulance staff are on call for 24 hours a day and have to deal with highly pressured situations where their personal safety may be at risk.
Maybo training provides ambulance staff with positive strategies to identify and respond to a patient’s physiological and emotional needs, so that they can confidently de-escalate and manage behaviours of concern with the aim of creating positive and safer outcomes.
We also provide physical intervention and incident response training so that staff are prepared to respond to activities that carry heightened safety risks. This ensures that everyone gets the level of training they need for their specific role.
We have played an important role in developing guidance on preventing and managing clinical assaults within the NHS, as well as the use of physical interventions.
Our physical skills are proven to be safe, gentle and low arousal when required as a last resort.
Maybo was one of the first organisations to evidence compliance with the Restraint Reduction Network (RRN) Training Standards and we can offer training Certified by BILD ACT to Ambulance Services that meet requirements. Our Trainer Training is also Accredited by City & Guilds.

eLearning
Maybo's eLearning programmes utilise the latest learning technologies, realistic scenarios and interactive exercises to offer an engaging self-study learning experience.
eLearning can play a valuable role within a blended learning strategy, underpinning the knowledge and reducing staff abstraction time, or in some instances as a complete solution. It also works well for induction and refresher training.
To find out more or for volume purchases contact our team or visit our eLearning store for individual purchases.
eLearning is also known as self-directed learning. It often precedes Classroom or Virtual Classroom training to provide a foundation of knowledge in advance - this is known as a blended approach.
Classroom
Maybo designs and delivers training to meet your requirements and can deliver direct to your staff wherever you need it. We take time to understand your training needs and the unique challenges and scenarios your colleagues face, to ensure our Classroom courses are highly relevant. Learners receive superb resources and certificates with a range of accreditation and qualification options.
Classroom training can be combined with eLearning to form a blended learning strategy, underpinning the knowledge and reducing staff abstraction time.
Classroom training is delivered by a trainer at an agreed venue. It is also sometimes called face-to-face or in-person training.
Virtual Classroom
Maybo designs and delivers Virtual Classroom training to meet your requirements.
Virtual Classroom training enables staff to benefit from engaging team training with high-levels of participation delivered remotely by a skilled facilitator over video conferencing software including Zoom and MS Teams.
Virtual Classroom training can also be combined powerfully with eLearning to form a blended learning strategy, with eLearning underpinning the knowledge and reducing staff abstraction time.
Virtual Classroom training is live, participatory training delivered remotely by a trainer with video conferencing software.

The restrictive interventions included in the delivery of this module will be assessed to ensure they are suitable for the needs of the people being supported by the participants on each course.
Where a training needs analysis has highlighted elevated risks to individuals or populations, any additional safeguards, limitations or restrictions will be included in the delivery of this module.
Recognising and Reducing Risk
- Key risk factors of restrictive interventions
- Individual and team responsibilities to reduce risk and respond to medical emergencies
