Paramedics in Primary Care - new SGPET discussion group is starting on 20 September aimed particularly at Paramedics new to primary care, but open to any paramedic who may benefit from peer support. Facilitated by Primary Care Paramedic Ambassador Catherine Hayden the sessions will be informal and an opportunity to learn more about the primary care system, discuss issues such as the Paramedic Roadmap, Education, share ideas and case studies, as well as providing a platform to link paramedics across the county together. Initially held via Zoom, the sessions can be booked via the SGPET Events page.

Friday Forum - Polypharmacy, Multi-morbidity & Deprescribing – Friday 9th September 9.30 – 12.30 An interactive virtual workshop with Dr Andy Eaton, discussing latest guidance on how to manage patients where multi-morbidity and polypharmacy are significant factors
Do you always feel confident when admitting someone with polypharmacy and multi-morbidity that it is the right thing to do?
Do you never worry when adding in medication to someone with multi morbidity that it is just going to make things worse?
Do you have a clear strategy in your head to deprescribe in a patient centered way?
If you answered YES to all the above, then you are ahead of the game and there is no need for you to attend this workshop (other than to update me!)
If not - then please email Ellen to reserve yourself a space ellen.welch2@nhs.net
