Our next PLT will be taking place on Thursday 5th March from 2.30pm to 5.30pm. There will be two sessions, one for clinical staff and one for non-clinical staff.
REGISTRATION:
We are now using Medtribe to advertise our Newham PLTs and to better capture attendance data. This will also help streamline our processes, as certificates of attendance will be issued automatically once feedback forms have been completed. As a result, to receive a certificate, attendees will be required to register for all future Newham PLT sessions via Medtribe. The joining link for the sessions will also be on Medtribe.
The Medtribe links for the sessions are below. Please do register:

COVER ARRANGEMENTS:
If by attending, your practice opening offer would need to be a skeleton one, Newham Health Collaborative will be able to provide the telephone cover for the period of 2:30pm-6:30pm with a same day urgent care offer – this means that your telephone lines will be transferred to NHC from no earlier than 2:30pm.
To arrange this cover please email Newham Health Collaborative nhc@nhs.net and ICB team nelondonicb.tnwprimarycare@nhs.net by no later than 5pm on Wednesday 25th February.
NHC will cover the telephones until 6:30pm, but they cannot transfer your phone service to your out of hours provider – so you will need someone in your team to do this at your practice at 6:30pm to complete this task.
NHC call handlers will complete an initial triage when taking each call and patients will be referred to one of our Urgent Care GPs who will provide a telephone consultation. If an urgent face to face appointment is needed, the patient will be offered an appointment at our UTC divert service Essex Lodge. Please do not signpost your patients to Essex Lodge if attending the PLT session.
Practices should plan for a skeleton service at their premises and patients should be able to access the practice to collect prescriptions, etc.
If you are aware of a member of your practice team who has not received this email, please advise them to email myself, Jessica Oghenegweke – j.oghenegweke@nhs.net. I will then add them to the circulation list.
