2025-01-28 13:00 - 14:00 | Online Session, United Kingdom

Registration Link: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/424a4682-3030-4156-99dd-3b76db7db872@37c354b2-85b0-47f5-b222-07b48d774ee3
In this session you will get an overview of the NEL Enhance programme, from understanding what the Enhance programme is with its six component domains, to what it means for you and your work in north east London in making a difference, and how you can get involved.
We’re so pleased to welcome guest speaker, Dr Jagan John from Barking & Dagenham, to talk about neighbourhoods in action. Jagan will share his own experience of how taking an innovative neighbourhood approach really began to tackle health inequalities at scale and empower local people. Hear about what worked, what was challenging, and what the learning is for you to take forward in your own work and communities.
Please note this session will be recorded.
For more information, please visit the NEL Enhance Pilot section of the NEL Health Equity Academy FutureNHS site.
Your Neighbourhood, Your Future: Be Part of the Conversation

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.

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 Wednesday 22nd January.

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.

2025-02-11 09:15 - 16:15 | Online Session, United Kingdom
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
These courses are fully funded, therefore please ensure you read the cancellation and DNA policy carefully before booking.
Booking Information
Please ensure you use Microsoft Edge to complete the Form, and that you login with your nhs.net email address (or you will get an error message) – the login details for all sessions will be sent to the email address provided.
Please be aware that you will see 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 have the date you have applied for. This is not confirmation that you have a place on the training, but at this time, we would advise you to assume that you have a place on the training you have booked. 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.

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.
Sometimes the joining link can end up in your junk email folder from external providers, so please check this 1 week before the training if you have not received the link.
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.
During the Training Session
Please login to your session a minimum of 15mins before the start time. If you cannot login and have not attempted to before the start of the session, this will count as a DNA.
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.

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!

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.
Your Neighbourhood, Your Future: Be Part of the Conversation

NEL Enhance programme - Webinar 2: Getting Creative with Health and Care
2025-02-11 13:00 - 14:00 | Online Session, United Kingdom
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.

Booking Information
Ticket sales for all events close 2 weeks prior to the start of the session.
Please ensure you use Microsoft Edge to complete the Form, and that you login with your nhs.net email address (or you will get an error message) – the login details for all sessions will be sent the email address provided.
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.
During the Training Session
Please login to your session a minimum of 15mins before the start time. If you cannot login and have not attempted to before the start of the session, this will count as a DNA.
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.

Booking Information
Please ensure you use Microsoft Edge to complete the Form, and that you login with your nhs.net email address (or you will get an error message) – the login details for all sessions will be sent to the email address provided.
Please be aware that you will see 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 have the date you have applied for. This is not confirmation that you have a place on the training, but at this time, we would advise you to assume that you have a place on the training you have booked. 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.

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.
Sometimes the joining link can end up in your junk email folder from external providers, so please check this 1 week before the training if you have not received the link.
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.
