Let’s Talk: Genomic Medicine in Childhood and Adolescence
2022-06-22 12:30 - 13:00 | Online Session, United Kingdom
Did you know that genomic medicine could affect how you manage patients from pre-natal care, through childhood and adulthood?
About this event
Genomic tests are already available in the NHS for use in many childhood and adult cancers, inherited disorders and rare diseases, and more tests are becoming available every year through the NHS Genomic Medicine Service. To make sure everyone for whom genomics is appropriate can access the tests that are right for them, it’s important that all NHS healthcare professionals feel confident to recognise when it’s time to think genomics for their patients.
The North Thames and South East Genomic Medicine Services are running a series of webinars which will explore how Genomic Medicine can affect a patient across different stages of their life, and how different NHS disciplines are vital to making sure genomics is used safely and effectively.
Join our MDT panels for a #GenomicsConversation and learn more about where genomics is already being used, where it might go in the future and explore example case studies across the lifetime.

TNW - UCLP Proactive Care to Support Primary care
2022-06-23 12:30 - 14:00 | Online Session, United Kingdom
COVID-19 has undoubtedly had an impact on Primary Care and the full impact of this is only now emerging. Primary Care now faces a huge backlog of unmet patient need, with patients facing long waits for treatment. During this recovery phase, there is an opportunity to create a healthier, more resilient society, by ensuring patients are provided with the tools to be able manage their long term conditions better. Part of the wider strategy to assist recovery aims to enable Primary Care to be furnished with tools that will allow risk stratification of their patients with long term conditions. This approach will allow practices to prioritise patients who are at the highest risk of an exacerbation and intervene in a proactive way. In order for Primary Care to rise to the challenge and provide a consistent standard of care to all patients, it is essential there is a step change in the way patients with long term conditions are supported and their care managed. There is now a greater emphasis on workforce and allowing skill mix in general practice to help address the backlog that Primary Care is now facing.(6) This approach will allow patients to be seen quickly, efficiently and by the most appropriate healthcare clinician.
UCL Partners have developed and defined search and stratification tools to support primary care teams prioritise care appropriately for people with long-term conditions. These tools can be used to stratify patients into low, medium, and high-risk of deterioration to help practices with the recovery work.
LEARNING OUTCOMES

To understand how the UCL Partners tools can support Primary Care
To understand how to use the UCLP tools to help manage workload in Primary Care and prioritise patients with the greatest needs
To understand how practices have adapted the model to support delivery of both national and local enhanced schemes
To understand how to access the UCLP tools and other tools to support the recovery phase

Care Navigation (2 x 2 hours)
2022-06-29 09:30 - 14:00 | Online Session, United Kingdom
The key objective of Active Signposting (AS) is to help patients access the right care at the earliest opportunity. It is a new system of ‘triage’ carried out at the first point of contact with the GP Practice by non-clinical staff under direction of the clinical team. There are numerous drivers for this patient centred approach and outcomes will include a more streamlined GP workload, improving efficiencies in terms of access to services and patient satisfaction. It will achieve this by releasing valuable GP time and resources. Staff will actively manage requests for GP appointments and safely redirect inappropriate GP consultations to the most appropriate care provider.
Objective: Active Signposting is a tool to develop the skills and career paths of non- clinical staff. 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 Active Signposting are valuable in other new non-traditional roles such as Document Management, HCA and Care Navigation. After this web workshop, staff will be confident in advising and referring patients to care providers who work either within the practice team or to external care providers. Active Signposting can present a challenging cultural shift for some teams – and we will explore the mechanisms to help make the changes as smooth as possible – some of this will build on the existing understanding, within the practice, of the need to change and a realisation of benefits these
