Session 1: Friday 27th Sept A GP’s Story with Dr Andy Knox Everyone is in favour of the idea of reducing inequalities. This is one GPs story of how he put aside feelings of world weariness and powerlessness to do something about it. Drawing on the stories of people he has met in his consulting room over the last 18years, Dr Andy Knox, a GP and population health leader explores why things are going so wrong for communities across the UK and what we might do to bring about change. Andy will make the case that unless we reorient ourselves in primary care, we will continue to perpetuate the staggering inequalities at work in our communities.
Session 2: Friday 11th Oct Data-led optimisation in diabetes care with Dr Daghni Rajasingam Evidence shows that simply designing services that work for the whole population will address inequalities and raise the quality for everyone. Dr Daghni Rajasingam, Deputy CMO GSTT and Medical Director for Secondary Care Transformation, will share learning which is applicable across both primary and secondary care. Daghni partnered with a small analytics company to analyse clinical metrics for all 4,500 diabetics on their waiting list. Simple stratification led to prioritisation of more global majority patients and people with higher deprivation scores. Seeing people earlier allowed modifiable risk factors to be addressed, reducing variation in how clinicians saw risk, redistributing workloads and releasing capacity in the system.
Session 3: Friday 1st Nov A life’s work: Growing an approach to addressing health inequalities with Professor Mitch Blair Join us for an engaging session with Professor Mitch Blair, who will share his extensive research and practical experiences at neighbourhood level, focusing specifically on addressing inequalities in outcomes for children and young people in Harrow. He will bring to life some of the insights from previous sessions, highlighting his passion for finding an effective intervention and harnessing it to serve the wider community. Discover how effective collaboration both with GPs in shared clinics and within MDTs improves outcomes. When you engage communities, you can start to transform health outcomes. Mitch will share how he has translated his passion into a comprehensive approach for addressing health inequalities at scale; a story not just of challenges, but a celebration of success.
Session 4: Friday 22nd Nov People as Partners with Alyson McGregor and Sheinaz Stansfield With fewer resources coming into primary care to tackle inequalities we need to recognise that one of our greatest assets is working with citizens as partners. Alyson McGregor, is Director of Altogether Better, an NHS organisation that has worked more than 25,000 citizens who have stepped forward to make a difference to their practice and community. Alyson will share evidence-based examples of how teaming up with communities makes a difference and Sheinaz Stansfield, former managing partner and powerhouse in adopting innovation in primary care, will describe how tapping into the strengths of the people on her list led to better outcomes for everyone through less conventional methods. Sheinaz’s enthusiasm is infectious and we hope you will catch the bug!

Session 5: Friday 13th Dec How do you know that you are making a difference? With Ailsa Cook The NHS is awash with well intentioned initiatives that don’t deliver what they promise. This is largely because not enough attention is placed on impact. Ailsa Cook, Director of Matter of Focus, has experience in helping people understand, track and report on the outcomes that matter to you, so that you can make the case for your work and have the biggest impact. The impact of the journey is just as important as the outcome when we are working to fix wicked problems. This session will explore what to pay attention to and how to track the impact on the people involved, developing understanding about why things work and the difference it makes to everyone involved.
Session 6: Date & time tbc Putting it all together: How to make change happen Further details will be shared at earlier sessions.

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 Tuesday 24th September.

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.

This is to help you plan your clinical time, as it is far easier to add in a clinic at a later date than remove one.
We appreciate it is taking a while to get confirmation emails out to everyone at the moment, and that this is frustrating. This is due to:

1) The high volume of applications for some of the training, which comes in at a faster rate than can be effectively managed in real time.
2) Having to chase incomplete or missing information on the booking Form.
3) Having to check that applicants are registered with their professional body.
4) Having to check that the applicants’ job role is covered by our funding agreement with NHSE (we have had a number of inappropriate applications).
5) Dozens of cancellations or requests to change dates every week.

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER TO THE ONLINE SESSION
Thursday 3rd October, 1pm – 3pm
This webinar will support PCN DES for 24/25.
Polypharmacy is also one of the five NEL priorities selected from the NHSE national priorities for 23/24
Description
Overprescribing, the use of a medicine where there is a better non-medicine alternative, or where the use is inappropriate for that patient’s circumstances or is inconsistent with their wishes and can lead to problematic polypharmacy (a person’s concurrent use of multiple medicines).
Polypharmacy may be appropriate for a person with complex or multiple conditions if their medicines are optimised and prescribed according to best evidence. However, it can be problematic when the benefit of the individual medicines is not realised.
Structured medication reviews (SMRs) can be used to review patients identified as having problematic polypharmacy. They provide a comprehensive and clinical review of a patient’s medicines and detailed aspects of their health and are facilitated by shared decision-making conversations with patients around whether medicines are safe, effective and personalised to their needs and current situation.
Learning Objectives include:
Increased awareness of national resources to tackle polypharmacy.
Develop practical skills for managing polypharmacy and implementing deprescribing protocols.
Critically evaluate evidence to support prescribing and deprescribing decisions.
Apply knowledge to real-world scenarios through case study analysis.

Did you know that trans and non-binary patients are not correctly recalled by the national screening recall system? It therefore falls to the clinician at a GP practice to discuss appropriate screening options with this group of patients. Do you feel ready to do this?
NELTraining Hub is pleased to collaborate with OUTpatients, the UK’s LGBTIQ+ cancer charity, to offer Cancer Awareness Sessions for staff from clinical and non-clinical GP teams. These one-hour sessions will be delivered virtually via Microsoft Teams and provide invaluable insights into the unique experiences and needs of LGBTIQ+ patients. This training is for anyone involved in cancer screening, including cervical, breast, and bowel cancer screening. We will also learn about best practices in opportunistic screening, like prostate cancer.

These one-hour sessions will be delivered virtually via Microsoft Teams and provide invaluable insights into the unique experiences and needs of LGBTQI+ patients.
The session will cover:
· How the cancer experience can differ for LGBTQI+ patients
· Understanding LGBTQI+ health disparities and risk factors
· Encouraging LGBTQI+ patients to attend cancer screenings
· The Impact of gender-affirming care on cancer risk and screening eligibility
· Addressing systemic barriers (e.g. screening invitations, handovers)
· Supporting gender re-registration and name changes
· Delivering person-centred care for LGBTQI+ patients
· Creating inclusive and welcoming healthcare environments
Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your knowledge and deliver more inclusive care to LGBTQI+ patients.
