NEWS/UPDATE BOARD - This and past updates can be found here
- Pain Resources - On June 6th at 7-9pm (online) Professor Irene Tracy from Oxford University will be explaining to patients and non-specialist clinicians how research in neuroscience is helping us to rethink the complexity of pain, and how to manage it better. She will be doing this in conversation with people living with pain by discussing what everyone needs to understand about pain, why drugs do not work well and how we can help people see “the bigger picture” in managing their chronic pain. You can find out more at the following website (and also direct patients towards this): https://my.livewellwithpain.co.uk/festival/pain-and-the-brain/queen-of-pain-professor-irene-tracey/ This complements our soon to be completed Somerset resource pack entitled “skills not pills” for managing pain better in Somerset. You can find the new reducing resources on the CCG medicines management website . Contact jon.dolman@nhs.net if you would like further information.

Resources for Practice Nurse & others in similar roles
- Infection Control Dates, three new sessions arranged, 7 July , 15th September & 8th December 2021
- Message from Julia Bloomfield (Infection Prev. & Control Nurse Specialist, Som CCG) I have been asked to clarify current PPE use in general practice, just a reminder that the COVID 19 guidance hasn’t changed therefore when seeing a patient it is advised to wear gloves, apron, eye protection and Type IIR facemasks when undertaking clinical procedures within 2 meters of a patient in the medium risk pathway. Patients having a vaccination is a low risk procedure therefore gloves and aprons are not advised in that situation unless risk assessed otherwise. See the PHE COVID 19 IP&C guidelines below for more information.
