Buddy Meetings for return-to-work GPs

Buddy Meetings for return-to-work GPs

For the next phase of BNSSG Training Hub’s ongoing support for GPs returning to work from short career breaks, Dr. Pamela Curtis will be holding Buddy Meetings on the last Wednesday of each of the next few months.

These meetings will provide a safe space to discuss the things that matter to you – be it clinical work, career goals, or well-being – and in a format of your choosing (as a ‘study group’, via action learning sets, etc.). It is hoped these will increase the confidence of and support for GPs returning to practice.

Planned dates are as follows, from 20.00 – 21.00 on each day:

HEE FCP (MSK) Roadmap Stage 1 Webinar

HEE FCP (MSK) Roadmap Stage 1 Webinar

BNSSG Training Hub’s new FCP (MSK) Lead, Lizzie Bradshaw, is aware of the confusion around the practical process of mapping to the Knowledge, Skills, & Attributes (KS&A) section in stage 1 of the HEE FCP (MSK) Roadmap.

To this end, we ran a webinar on Wednesday 21 July, from 19.00 to 20.00, to share learning and guidance. Kerri Magnus, our ACP Lead, chaired the meeting discussion, and Rachel Butt – a HEE Roadmap Supervisor – helped to run through a mapping of Lizzie’s personal KS&A to discuss examples of potential evidence for those on the portfolio route, and also demonstrate the use of the HEE FCP framework spreadsheet tool to record this portfolio of evidence.

The recording for this webinar is now available — to watch it, please use the button below!

Shared Decision Making Training

An interactive opportunity to practice new skills…

…a great start to working towards a cultural shift

FREE training for clinicians across BNSSG, on Tuesday 29 March

Do you want to help people make better decisions about their healthcare?

Following on from last year’s highly successful Shared Decision Making Workshops, we are pleased to announce that another such workshop will be held this year, on Tuesday 29 March, 2022.

Running from 9.30 – 12.30, this session will be delivered by Dr. Shaba Nabi (GP Clinical Lead Prescribing, BNSSG CCG), an expert in all matters relating to shared decision making (SDM). As such, attendees will be taken on a whistle-stop tour of the rationale and benefits of SDM, in addition to having the chance to practice relevant skills with like-minded colleagues in an interactive setting.

This training is available for FREE to primary, community, and secondary care clinicians.

Should it be of interest, the expandable box below features a link to watch the one-hour Awareness Raising Webinar that originally preceded this training. You do not need to watch it, however, and a recap will be provided at the start of the workshop.

Awareness Raising Webinar

This webinar serves as an introduction to the core principles of Shared Decision Making and begins to lay out the case for its widescale implementation.

There are several benefits for practices participating in this programme, as follows:

You will attract and retain newly qualified GPs in permanent roles
Your newly qualified GPs will receive extra support as they start independent practice
Fellows can use their funded CPD time to keep up-to-date clinically, gain additional skills that may be of use to the practice, and contribute to practice / PCN projects

As to what practices need to do to participate in this programme, you need to:

Provide an induction to the practice and primary care network (PCN)
Nominate a clinical supervisor — an experienced GP with whom the fellow can meet for one hour per month, for the duration of the fellowship (please note: no funding is available for this role)
Consider what career development opportunities you can offer the fellow (e.g., shadowing, leadership and management roles, quality improvement projects, etc.)
