Addressing Winter Pressure Through Group Clinics TUESDAY 02 JULY 12.30 – 13.30 We hope that now is the perfect time to forward-plan and support patients to develop their self-management skills to pre-empt winter pressures. Attend this webinar and find out from primary care clinicians how being proactive over the summer and autumn helped them address winter pressures (because people know how to keep well in the colder months) - AND smash QOF – most especially amongst those living with asthma and COPD. Book your free slot here.
Catch up with past webinars: QOF, CKD and hypertension; the future of primary and community nursing - Last month we had a great session on delivering support for people with CKD and hypertension in group clinics. We also had the chance top hear from Louise Brady and Karen Storey about how group clinics support nursing development and their vision for the future. You can watch highlight recordings of both here.
