Giving out Normal Blood Test
2022-07-01 12:00 - 14:00 (Europe/London) | Online Session, United Kingdom
Support for frontline staff to confidently give out normal blood results. Based on the BBB training where in the initial 3 months they had saved around 50-60 appointments at St Andrews. They had 100% accuracy giving out results (ie those patients that were told the results were normal did actually have normal results and no one was falsely told this). Feedback from all receptionists was positive as they were getting frustrated that they could see results filed as normal but had to book appts with Drs or nurses and often when Drs called patients, their calls were missed so patients would call back to speak Dr and this would unnecessarily increase call volumes. So they felt the training not only saved appts but also reduced the call volume and hence workload for them.

An Introduction to Medical Terminology

NEL Admin & Reception training: Confidentiality in General Practice
2022-07-05 09:30 - 13:00 | Online Session, United Kingdom
This workshop is designed to provide delegates with the knowledge they require to ensure confidentiality in a general practice setting.

The workshop will use common scenarios and examples to examine the risks and the appropriate actions that should be taken.

Correspondence & Workflow optimisation (2 x 2 hours)
2022-07-05 12:30 - 17:00 | Online Session, United Kingdom
There is a widely held belief that a strengthened version of general practice is essential
to the wider sustainability of the NHS and that general practices themselves seem more open to new ways of working than ever before. It’s about ‘Doing more with the same, rather than doing more will less’ but it’s also about ‘Doing things differently’ and that means addressing both skills and processes.
One of the great strengths of UK general practice is its diversity and its adaptability.
This adaptability has been especially evident in its rapid response to COVID-19. The General Practice Forward View 5 Year Plan had already begun to introduce new/emerging technologies but the demands of COVID-19 have seen practices adopting these new technologies at pace. There have been two significant changes to the delivery of care in general practice.

The first is the acceptance that virtual consultations will be the default method by which the majority of all clinical / patient contact will take place. The second is that contact with the practice team will be routed through digital methods rather than by attending or calling in person. New principles and processes are emerging to help embed and support these new working methods as traditional roles are either adapted or replaced.

Correspondence Management represents one of the new processes that was swiftly adopted during COVID. It is especially important as there has been a substantial increase in correspondence being received in practice. To enable a more streamlined GP workload, valuable GP time must be released. This will be achieved bytraining non-clinical staff to manage all incoming documentation including clinical correspondence and safely redirecting only the most appropriate information to GP’s.

Staff trained in Correspondence Management & Clinical coding will read, code and action all other necessary work against a framework based on robust protocols agreed within the practice and in so doing will free up GP time and improve the use of resources throughout the practice. It will require change – both in terms roles and responsibilities.

The Objectives
This module will give delegates the opportunity to reflect on the changes of the last 6 months and understand how new technologies and consultation types will continue to impact on traditional work patterns. It will help focus on and enhance current skills and increase delegates confidence to deliver care through Document Management as part of their role in the new environment.

Effective Correspondence Management & Clinical coding will help to deliver NHS England’s Digitalisation Plan, increased QoF, National, Directed and Locally Enhanced Service targets by capturing all relevant uncoded data at the earliest opportunity. This will lead to a reduction in the need for appointments as tests and procedures carried out elsewhere are quickly identified, reducing duplications.

Correspondence Management also provides a mechanism and route map to develop the skills and career paths of non- clinical staff. Practice staff will move away from a passive role and have a more direct impact on patient health outcomes. The skills and abilities needed to undertake CM are valuable in other new non-traditional roles such as Active Signposting, HCA and Care Navigation.

With relevant IT shared care agreements in place, a team of CM trained staff can support a number of practices from one ‘hub’ or host site. It can enable a consistent approach to data management across a given locality or CCG area. This will assist in the delivery of area wide health care outcomes. CM also has the potential for streamlining services by managing resources across multiple practices.

The day will be tailored towards particular CCGs or Federations key drivers and will be interactive to ensure that the outcomes of the day are directly applicable to the practices participating in the session.

Learning Objectives

Understand how new technologies have influenced the way GP’s and Clinicians behave in practice.
Understand how these changes have affected the traditional roles of administrators / support staff.
Understand how Correspondence Management works
Help staff gain skills and confidence to deliver Document Management
Recap on Medical Terminology
Understand the Benefits and Risks associated with Document Management

Understand what changes are necessary for successful implementation for:

administrators
clinical staff
patient safety

Understand the need for capturing data at the earliest opportunity / templates and Read coding
Understand the need for agreed robust protocols and flowcharts
Understand the need for robust auditing and ongoing reviews
To help practices formulate a plan for implementation
To help localities implement Correspondence Management across clusters of practices
