Tracy will be talking through the what, why and how of working with those experiencing severe multiple disadvantage, using the Fylde Coast Homeless Health Hub as an example of multi-agency integration.

Please join NHS ICB for what promises to be both an interesting but also much needed session on this important topic and also to celebrate our Fylde coast colleagues’ work and share the learning.

Wellbeing Conversations Training
2023-06-16 09:00 - 10:00
Managers and Leaders: Join us for a L&SC PCTH Wellbeing Conversation Session!

What is a wellbeing conversation?
The NHS People Plan 2020-21 sets out an ambition: “From September 2020, every member of the NHS should have a health and wellbeing conversation and develop a personalised plan. These conversations may fit within an appraisal, job plan or one-to-one line management discussion, and should be reviewed at least annually. As part of this conversation, line managers will be expected to discuss the individual’s health and wellbeing, and any flexible working requirements, as well as equality, diversity and inclusion.”

Vision for the wellbeing conversations
Health and wellbeing conversations are intended to be regular, supportive, coaching-style one to one conversations that focus on the wellbeing of our NHS people.
By encouraging organisations to embed wellbeing conversations across their system, we aim to create cultures where people feel heard and valued, and in which diversity is respected. This should, in turn, encourage us all to pass care and compassion on to each other, to patients and to our families.
Wellbeing conversations should consider the whole wellbeing of an individual (e.g. physical, mental, emotional, social, financial, lifestyle, safety) and identify areas where the individual may need support, signpost them to that support, and regularly monitor their wellbeing over time.

If you are no longer able to attend, please cancel your place via Eventbrite. If you are struggling with booking or cancelling your place, please contact us on mbpcc.lscthub@nhs.net
By signing up you agree for your information to be stored and by the Training hub and shared with NHSE and HEE, for the delivery of this training, monitoring, reporting and certification purposes only.

Research speed-meeting virtual event
2023-06-16 13:00 - 14:00

Parkinson’s disease in primary care
2023-06-20 13:00 - 14:00
Location
Online via WebEx at 13:00 – 14:00
About the event
This on the couch conversation will provide the opportunity for an honest conversation about why primary care pharmacy colleagues may hesitate to make or suggest changes to Parkinson’s medicines and how they can develop the confidence to make a difference in the lives of these patients.
Why it’s important
There is no cure for Parkinson’s and currently no medications which impact disease progression. People with Parkinson’s rely on the medications they take every day to control their symptoms and need individualised care to achieve this. Pharmacy staff in primary care can make a huge difference through support for medication review and optimisation in Parkinson’s. This webinar will share information and ideas to show how the pharmacy team can add value to the care of these patients.
What will be covered

A consultant pharmacist’s perspective on how the pharmacy team can contribute to optimising medicines in Parkinson’s
Examples of primary care pharmacy interventions and contributions

Speakers
A range of speakers from SPS and other organisations will run this event.
Non-SPS Speakers
Shelley Jones
Consultant Pharmacist, Neurosciences, King’s College Hospital, London
Karen Kite
Lead Clinical Pharmacist, Solihull Rural PCN
