REACTMH® training: 60 minutes session (and is also available as a ‘Train the Trainer’ option)
What is REACTMH®?
REACTMH® is a tool, developed by experts from March on Stress, which aims to help supervisors to have psychologically based supportive conversations with a colleague about their mental health.
Who should complete REACTMH training?
REACTMH training is recommended for all managers, supervisors and team leaders, but is especially useful for team members who are dealing with repeated exposure to potentially traumatic events (PTEs) or working in stressful environments.

What are the benefits of REACTMH training?
This concise active listening skills training session will enable supervisors to identify, engage with and support people in their teams who may be struggling with their mental health. The training is designed to improve a supervisor’s confidence in initiating supportive wellbeing conversations.

Why is REACTMH training important?
Evidence shows that managers who receive training in identifying the need for, and develop the confidence to successfully engage in, supportive mental health and wellbeing conversations with their team members can reduce the risk of longer-term mental ill health by up to 90%.

He believes strongly that primary care needs to embrace technological capabilities, particularly if we are to release clinical and non-clinical capacity and face the challenge of increasing patient demand on an already busy workforce.
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 by 5pm on Wednesday the 28th June.
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.
