Enhance Webinar 2: Getting Creative with Health and Care
2025-02-11 13:00 - 14:00 | Online Session, United Kingdom
Registration Link: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/f93c24a3-4d90-4b11-b910-beb173187d69@37c354b2-85b0-47f5-b222-07b48d774ee3

There is a strong body of evidence, on a national and global scale, that creative health is a key enabler in reducing inequalities in our communities. But what is creative health and why is it important? How can we harness these key assets within our system to create lasting change?

VCFSE, artists and cultural organisations are already delivering creative health programmes in North East London, from supporting children’s mental health by developing skills in creativity, confidence and teamwork, to helping people with long term conditions to thrive through music, cooking and art-making.

Join Conni Rosewarne, NEL Creative Health Associate and Dan Hopewell, Director of Knowledge and Innovation at Bromley By Bow Insights to think together about how creative activities can support holistic health and care, and share insights on how you can embed creativity into your neighbourhoods.

For more detail about the programme, please visit the Health Equity Academy FutureNHS page.

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.

Please be aware that you will receive an automated confirmation message screen to let you know that you have submitted the Form – you are advised to save your response, as this will email you a copy of your submitted Form, with the date you have applied for. This is not confirmation that you have a place on the training.
You will be informed by email if you are on the training or if you are on the waiting list. 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) Incomplete or missing information that means your application will be rejected.
3) Finding that you have applied for inappropriate training for your job role.
Preparing for the Training Session
Please check that you have received the joining link for your session at least 48hrs prior to the start date.
Please check your junk email folder as you will receive the joining link a minimum of twice from the provider.
If you ask for the login on the day of the event you may not receive it in time, and this will count as a DNA.
You may be sent some pre-training work which is essential to the smooth-running of the training session itself. Please ensure that you have completed this in good time.
If you are asked to provide an address for training materials, please give your home address – they will not be sent to a work address.

Please check that you have a working camera and microphone, and that you are in a place where you can fully interact with the session.
Mobile phone use is not accepted for attending training – you will be ejected from the training, and it will count as a DNA. However, some training will request mobile phone use for interactive elements, such as quizzes.
If you login late, you may not be accepted into the training, and this will count as a DNA.
If you leave a session early you will not receive your certificate – depending on how early you leave, this may count as a DNA.
Cancellations
If you need to cancel, please give a minimum of 5 working days’ notice (e.g. if the training is on Thursday, you need to let us know by 5pm on Wednesday the week before) so that we have time to fill the space. If you do not, this will count as a DNA.
To cancel, you must email nelondonicb.cpd@nhs.net – do not email the trainer directly.
Once you have received confirmation that you have a place on the training session, please liaise with your Practice Manager to organise your clinical schedule. Failure to do so, without cancelling with 5 full working days’ notice, will count as a DNA.
DNA Policy
1st DNA: You and your Manager will receive an email informing you that you have DNA’d a pre-booked session without cancellation.
2nd DNA: You will automatically be removed from any further CPD training for the current financial year. You and your Manager will receive confirmation of this by email.
If you have to cancel your place later than 5 full working days prior to the start of the session, please email nelondonicb.cpd@nhs.net explaining your exceptional circumstances, and these will be taken into consideration when deciding whether it counts as a DNA.
