The Health Education England (HEE) Roadmap provides an educational pathway from undergraduate to advanced practice for clinicians looking to pursue a career in primary care. Each person moving along this route needs a supervisor.
HEE are running their next excellent 2-day course () to train roadmap supervisors on Monday 19th September and Monday 26th September, 2022. Those trained to be supervisors will become a recognised HEE Roadmap Supervisor and be added to the regional and national directory. To be eligible for the training course, you must currently be working in Primary care in Somerset and have/working as one of the following:
-You hold a post graduate MSc, or are a full MACP member
-You are an FCP recognised by the HEE Centre for Advancing Practice
-You are an advanced practitioner recognised by the HEE Centre for Advancing Practice
-You are a GP
Places are limited to just 14 so if you think this could be for you and your line manager agrees then book early here. HEE will be letting us know of a further course in October, so we will communicate this as soon as we hear.

Would you like a role in helping to change the conversation around menopause in healthcare? Somerset Training Hub are pleased to announce an innovative 1-year, non-clinical menopause fellowship funded for up to 2 GP sessions per week. The successful applicant would be expected to start in autumn 2022. There will be educational delivery sessions in the role. A large component of the fellowship will also be communicating with Somerset colleagues in primary care, along with the wider health and social care system, about the important role each of us can play in supporting our workforce through menopause. This is a great opportunity to affect change while also developing education and leadership skills as the successful applicant works with leaders across the Somerset system.
expressing interest for this role should be a practicing GP in Somerset, up to date with revalidation and ideally already have evidence of completion of the 2 day “Menopause The Foundations” course from the British Menopause Society (also now known as “Principles and Practice of Menopause Care”) or the “Menopause Special Skills” course delivered by the Primary Care Women's Health Forum. Previous experience of teaching others will also be desirable.
To express interest in this position please contact somersetlmc.sth.office@nhs.net before Monday 15th August 2022.
