SGPET Weekly Update Mon 23 May 2022
Date sent: Monday 23 May 2022
NEWS/UPDATE BOARD - This and past updates can be found here
- SGPET MSK Study Day - 15 June Taunton Racecourse or via Zoom
- Long Covid Speciality Webinar - Pulmonary Rehab on 13th July via Microsoft Teams
- GPN Career Plus: We all know that working in general practice can be enormously challenging, often feeling overwhelming, leading to many leaving for long periods or retiring early. Opportunities to chat with colleagues, unwind and share ways of overcoming the challenges we face have become harder to find.
GPN Career Plus aims to help redress the balance through 12 remunerated facilitated sessions of peer support groups. If you have GPNs/Nurse Practitioners in your team who you think could benefit from GPN career plus, or as a GPN/NP you feel you may benefit from this, check out the flyer for GPN Career Plus. The next course is due to start on 19th October 2022.
- Evidence and Library Support – Focus on Nursing: Don’t forget the library service is here to help support all staff in the General Practice and Primary and Integrated Care family, including new nurses on the Fellowship or Preceptorship Programme. Just about all of our online resources can be accessed via a laptop, desktop, tablet, or Smartphone. Recent additions include the “Wiley Royal Marsden Manual of Clinical and Nursing Procedures” (latest edition); several titles in the Oxford Nursing Handbook series.
You can also search for items via the new KnowledgeHub or find out what books we hold in the libraries at both Taunton and Yeovil. Don’t worry if you can’t get into the library, we can send items out by post (unless they’re unreasonably heavy!). We can also help you with evidence searches – although if it’s for an assignment we may offer an assisted search or refer you to your university subject librarian.
You’ll need an NHS OpenAthens account to access many of our online resources in many cases, NHS Staff in England can sign up for a free account.
If you’d like any further information, take a look at the LibGuides pages or get in touch with the Primary and Integrated Care Librarian, Paula Younger, via paula.younger@somersetft.nhs.uk OR paula.younger1@nhs.net or via phone on 07741 084039.
- Expressions of Interest Window now Open until 30th May 2022 - for Personalised Care Health Coaching Skills Trainer/Facilitator Programme: Personalised care is shifting the conversation from “what’s the matter with you?” to “what matters to you?”.
Our social prescribers are usually experts at this. If you are experienced in using personalised conversation skills and have the aptitude for, or experience of, training others, or know someone who is, you are in the right place.
Expressions of interest are sought from people to take part in a new trainer development programme, where you will learn to deliver Personalised Care Institute accredited virtual health coaching conversation skills courses - a 2-day course suitable for everyone working in health and care and a 4-day course for professionals with a special interest in health coaching. You can find out more here.
