2024-01-10 12:30 - 14:00 (Europe/London)
The telephone is still the primary route to access for many patients & accounts for a significant workload in practices, with high call volumes and resultant pressure on our patient advisers.

Describe the information that can be extracted from cloud-based telephony systems and how that data can be displayed and used to identify and evidence pressure points and priorities;
Use a systematic approach for tackling some of the common challenges that emerge from the data;
Interrogate the system and begin to make improvements in their own practice.

The sessions are provided for those in General Practice and Primary Care Networks.
The sessions are delivered by experienced Primary Care Transformation Team faculty members, comprising practice-based clinicians and non-clinicians and improvement experts who have worked extensively with general practice and wider primary care.

2.5 hour PAM (Patient Activation Measure) Workshop - Virtual
2024-01-17 12:30 - 15:00 (Europe/London)
What is Patient Activation?
It is widely acknowledged that people who have the knowledge, skills and confidence to manage their own health tend to have better health outcomes than those who may have a more passive approach. Patients/clients with high levels of activation usually understand their role in the care process and feel capable of fulfilling that role. People who have low levels of activation however are usually less likely to play an active role in staying healthy. They are less good at seeking help when they need it, at following advice given by healthcare professionals or managing their health when they are no longer being treated.
There are twenty places available per each virtual PAM workshop. To apply for a place please fill out this PAM Application form (PAM Training Application Form – Jan 2024) in full and send to: workforcetraining@activelancashire.org.uk Once you have been registered on a PAM Workshop a confirmation e-mail will be sent to you inc your Zoom Link.
