- Digital Skills Bootcamps - primary care in Somerset has been awarded 20 funded places on these great IT training programmes. Courses run for 12 weeks from January 4th. Applicants cannot hold a degree-level qualification so this is aimed at other members of the practice team than the doctors and nurses. Staff attending this programme will gain new knowledge and skills that can be applied to the whole of the practice. Further details are here
- The County Council has redesigned the Somerset Survivors website at www.somersetsurvivors.org.uk . It now provides clearer information for the public and professionals. And has lots of new content too. Please highlight these changes to colleagues and patients as much as possible.
