Enhance Webinar 1: Introducing Enhance - How we can build stronger, healthier communities
2025-01-28 13:00 - 14:00 | Online Session, United Kingdom
We know that collaboration is at the heart of building stronger, healthier communities. The workforce is central to this: working together, learning together.
Registration Link: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/424a4682-3030-4156-99dd-3b76db7db872@37c354b2-85b0-47f5-b222-07b48d774ee3
In this session you will get an overview of the NEL Enhance programme, from understanding what the Enhance programme is with its six component domains, to what it means for you and your work in north east London in making a difference, and how you can get involved.
We’re so pleased to welcome guest speaker, Dr Jagan John from Barking & Dagenham, to talk about neighbourhoods in action. Jagan will share his own experience of how taking an innovative neighbourhood approach really began to tackle health inequalities at scale and empower local people. Hear about what worked, what was challenging, and what the learning is for you to take forward in your own work and communities.
Please note this session will be recorded.
For more information, please visit the NEL Enhance Pilot section of the NEL Health Equity Academy FutureNHS site.
Your Neighbourhood, Your Future: Be Part of the Conversation

Welcome to the launch of the pilot North East London Enhance programme!
NEL Enhance is a workforce development programme, open to all people working right across health, local authority, social care and the VCFSE sector. The programme is supported by NEL ICB Health Inclusion and Improvement and the Health Equity Academy, and funded by NHSE Education Reform.
The key themes covered by the programme are:

Person-centred practice

Complex multimorbidity

System working

Population health

Social justice & health equity

Environmental sustainability

The NEL Enhance pilot provides an opportunity to think together about how we can foster deeper collaboration and connection. We know that to truly have an impact on health inequalities we need to work together across professional and organisational boundaries.No one part of a system, or a single profession, can do this work on its own.
The Enhance programme kicks off in January 2025 with six webinars bringing speakers and experts from across our system and beyond. They will start the conversation on the above themes by sharing real life examples and ideas to inspire work in your neighbourhood.
You will also hear about the next phase of NEL Enhance, coming later in the year, where you can apply to be a part of a tailored, funded programme, supporting you in putting the themes into practice to address a local need.

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 22nd January.

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 the email invitation, please advise Johanna North on Johanna.North1@nhs.net who will be happy to ensure that their details are added to the circulation list.
