Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST)
2021-06-24 09:00 - 17:00 | Bernie Cameron Community Centre, 32 Merchant Street, London, London, E3 4LX
Perhaps surprisingly, thoughts of suicide are not always related to mental ill-health. The reasons can seem challenging and complex. Furthermore, it is not always obvious when a person is at risk of suicide. Being suicide alert and talking about the reasons for wanting to live and die has been proven to help. We teach World Health Organisation (WHO) approved courses developed by LivingWorks that facilitate and promote this discussion while keeping both the care-giver and the person at risk safe.
This is an intensive 2 day course for care-givers and key community members. It teaches suicide alertness and an easy to remember framework of practical skills to safely initiate, complete and follow-up on a full suicide intervention.
What is ASIST?

An accredited two day, interactive training that prepares caregivers to provide suicide first aid interventions.
Who can attend ASIST?
Anyone 16 or older (despite previous training) can learn and use the ASIST model. No previous mental health or suicide prevention experience is necessary.
What will you learn as an ASIST trained first aid caregiver?
After taking ASIST, you will be better able to:

Be suicide alert – identify people who have thoughts of suicide

Understand the reasons behind thoughts of suicide and the reasons for living

Assess risk and safety – develop a plan to increase the safety of the person at risk of suicide

Recognise invitations for help

Recognise potential barriers of seeking help

Offer support – recognise other important aspects of suicide prevention including
life-promotion and self-care

Effectively apply a suicide intervention model

Link people with community resources

What are the workshop features?

Presentations and guidance from two LivingWorks registered trainers

A scientifically proven intervention model

Powerful audio-visual learning aids

Group discussions

Skills practice and development

A balance of challenge and safety

Participant materials include a 20-page workbook, wallet card, and stickers. Participants also receive a certificate upon completing the workshop.

More information about the structure of the course is available via https://www.livingworks.net/programs/asist/

Medical/GP Assistant (MA) Training Programme
2021-06-16 13:00 - 16:00 | MS Teams, United Kingdom
We are excited to announce the launch of a new, remotely delivered, Medical/GP Assistant (MA) Training Programme starting in Autumn 2021 for Practices or PCNs across NEL.

The MA training programme is an opportunity to invest in, support and further develop enthusiastic members of your existing administrative/reception team and also help reduce the administrative burden placed on clinicians, managers and/or practices in a busy and complex Primary Care landscape.

Please share this information with the senior leadership teams (both clinicians and managers) in your practices/PCNs and any staff members in your team who may be suitable or interested.

The aim of this training is to help equip your administrators with a range of more flexible skills, a broader knowledge base and a greater degree of insight, confidence and capability to meet the ever-changing demands and complexities of Primary Care so that they can help safely drive non-clinical work away from clinicians and/or support Managers.

Historically training offered to administrators and receptionists has at times been piecemeal, reductive and focused on a narrow range of topic areas, rarely helping them make sense of or deal with the complexity, uncertainty and change in busy day to day situations.

Administrators are increasingly being expected to step up and into new roles and responsibilities without adequate attention to developing their core skills, attributes or knowledge. Additionally some practices/PCNS struggle to retain enthusiastic team members through the lack of opportunities to invest in their development or broaden their role.

This programme is delivered by experienced Primary Care clinicians and senior educators and is intended to train administrative colleagues in a way that is more in keeping with the complexity and reality of Primary Care. It also aligns with the wider workforce diversification, development and resilience agendas in Primary Care.
