PAM (Patient Activation Measure) Workshop
2024-03-06 09:30 - 12:30 (Europe/London)
Patient activation describes the knowledge, skills and
confidence a person has in managing their own health
and care.
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.
If we want clients/patients to take ownership of their
health and care we have to make them part of the
process.
• We need to listen, problem-solve, and collaborate
• We need to help them gain the skills and confidence
they need, not just the transfer of information.
Various studies show that targeted interventions
can increase patient activation.
Least activated patients/clients can make the most gains
when they are appropriately supported.
Tailoring interventions to individual needs, significantly
increases the likelihood that people will adopt
behaviours that contribute to better health.
The Patient Activation Measure (PAM) is a validated
patient-reported outcome measure owned by Insignia
Health.
PAM was created to identify which patients/clients may
need additional resources to manage their health
The PAM tool is made up of 13 questions, which
determine the person’s ‘activation’ score on a level of
1, 2, 3 or 4. PAM Levels 1 and 2 indicate lower patient
activation, while PAM Levels 3 and 4 indicate higher
patient activation.
Measuring activation can:
– Improve outcomes and reduce costs
– Reduce re-admissions and fewer episodes of unplanned and emergency care.
– Improve patient experience
There are twenty places available per each virtual PAM
workshop. Please ensure you are able to join from
individual terminals and have a working camera and
microphone.
To apply for a place please fill out the PAM Training Application Form in full and send to:
workforcetraining@activelancashire.org.uk
Once all delegates have been registered on a PAM
Workshop a confirmation e-mail will be sent to you inc
your Zoom Link.
Once the course has been completed PAM
outputs/Flourish Info’s will then be sent to all
participants who have completed the course in full.
Please note all applications are registered on a first
come, first serve basis.
The PAM workshops are being delivered by Lancashire &
South Cumbria ICB & Active Lancashire for the benefit of
Lancashire & South Cumbria population, to assist people
to become more active in their own health and care.

Navigating through Modern General Practice 'how to' and the GP Improvement Programme
2024-03-06 12:30 - 14:00 (Europe/London)
A Modern General Practice model is a way of organising work in general practice to help enable practices to provide fair and safe care, while also supporting the sustainability of services and an improved experience for both patients and staff.
The model involves practices:

having a full understanding of demand and available capacity;
providing easy to use access routes to patients;
collecting consistent information from the patient at the point of contact;
using this information to give the most appropriate help to patients based on need; and
improving management of non-patient facing workload to help release capacity.

Navigating through the ‘How to’ guides and the GPIP offers

This webinar helps you identify where to focus your improvement, where and how to start, what to expect and how to make the most of our improvement programme offers including self-navigation tools, resources and webinars.

FFP3 Mask Fit Testing at East Lancs Hospice (30-minute slots)
2024-03-11 09:30 - 15:00 (Europe/London)
East Lancashire Hospice
Park Lee Road Blackburn BB2 3NY
With an outbreak of measles anticipated in the coming weeks, it is essential that any clinical staff have access to the correct PPE. Measles is highly contagious and is transmitted via airborne transmission and therefore any clinician seeing suspected or confirmed measles needs to wear appropriate PPE, including the FFP3 mask. It is an HSE legal requirement that FFP3 masks are correctly fit tested. This applies to all, regardless of vaccination status as we have seen breakthrough infections with clinical staff in earlier outbreaks. Those who have had no MMR doses and those who are immunosuppressed are most vulnerable and should be prioritised for FFP3 fit testing or, better, deployed away from risk of communicable disease. Vulnerable groups include unvaccinated individuals, pregnant women, immunocompromised patients and the chronically ill.
East Lancashire Hospice has set up sessions on Monday 11th March.
Primary care staff must take their own FFP3 masks to the fit testing session, and are encouraged to order FFP3 masks from the PPE portal (call 0800 876 6802 if you do not already have an account). They are free of charge to order.
Facial hair – stubble and beards – make it impossible to get a good seal of the mask to the face. If you are clean-shaven when wearing FFP3 masks this will help prevent leakage of contaminated air around the edges of the mask and into your lungs. If there are good reasons for having a beard (eg for religious reasons), alternative forms of RPE, that do not rely on a tight fit to the face, are available (powered hoods) If powered hoods are purchased by practices it is important that decontamination process is in place.
These initial sessions will be available on a first come, first served basis. Lancashire & South Cumbria ICB continues to work on providing further opportunities across the footprint to get staff fit tested.
Please contact SVOC (healthierlsc.svoc-info.c19vacc@nhs.net) if you require any further assistance.

UCLan Primary care education meetings - Evidence-based medical education
2024-03-13 12:00 - 12:45 (Europe/London)
Enhance your teaching skills in primary care with our tailored education meetings, blending theory and practice to refine clinical teaching skills.

Primary Care Education Meetings are designed for both current and prospective placement providers, as well as clinicians within the primary care sector. This series of concise Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is tailored to enrich and broaden the skill sets of practitioners involved in teaching students in the medical field.
We are accustomed to supporting our clinical decisions with evidence and would like to do the same for our teaching practice. However, the evidence base for medical education is much weaker. In our fifth and final meeting, we look at why this is so and discuss the kind of evidence we most urgently need in education.
