The Service

Each of our work programmes have a strong emphasis on Training and Development (GDPR, IT Support, FTSU etc) our aim is to upskill the teams and individuals we work with and to reduce their dependence on us. In addition to the training to support our programmes we also provide bespoke training programmes designed to support Practices, PCNs, and Federations. Current examples of training programmes delivered by us include:

• General Practice Assistant, Training and Accreditation - We run commissioned GPA training programmes for PCNs and Federations and ‘open’ programmes for individuals training to be a GPA.
• Physician Associate Internship programmes - Our PA internship programme enables newly qualified PAs to successfully navigate the first year of their career in Primary Care, ensuring improved outcomes for the practices and the PA. We are commissioned to run programmes across the North-West and West-Midlands.
• Clinical Digital Upskilling - We run a range of Digital Upskilling programmes based on ALS principles.
• Conferences and learning sessions - We run ad hoc conferences and events to support our work for example:
  • We ran a successful IT innovation event for Practices, PCNs and Commissioners
  • We recently ran a 2 day PA in General Practice event with over 150 delegate

We are organising a conference for PCN digital leads.

"Both speakers were fluent in the topic and happy to take on questions and queries. Their answers were clear and concise on a topic that is both very detailed and had multiple applications to the group". Coding in General Practice Training

"I found the online session really informative and the content was engaging. It was great that there was signposting to available online resources to support both staff and patients. The links to demonstration videos was great as these can be shared directly with patients and are easy to understand. The real-world information from clinicians was very practical useful advice". - Respiratory Upskilling Online Session
