Mental Health in Primary Care
2026-03-25 09:30 - 12:30
This session is designed for anyone working clinically in primary care who encounters mental health presentations as part of everyday practice.
Mental health difficulties are common, complex, and often intertwined with physical health, social stressors, and life events. In primary care, we are uniquely placed to notice early signs, open meaningful conversations, and offer timely, compassionate support.
Using a primary care–relevant case study, this session will focus on normalising mental health, exploring how distress commonly presents in primary care settings, and introducing formulation as a practical framework for making sense of people’s difficulties beyond diagnosis alone.
The session will introduce the 5 Ps formulation model (presenting, predisposing, precipitating, perpetuating and protective factors) as a shared language for understanding mental health problems collaboratively with patients. We will consider how formulation can guide clinical decision-making, risk awareness, and proportionate intervention in a time-limited primary care context.
Participants will explore realistic support options within primary care, including brief interventions, psychoeducation, social prescribing, medication considerations, referral pathways, and safety-netting. The emphasis throughout is on confidence, curiosity, and relational practice rather than “fixing” or over-pathologising distress.
This session aims to support clinicians to feel more confident having mental health conversations, to think holistically, and to recognise the valuable role primary care plays in mental health support.
This is an interactive session and you will be expected to interact. Please ensure you have a camera and microphone available to attend the meeting.
You will receive a certificate post training for your attendance. Places are limited, if you have booked a place, please ensure you attend.

Understanding Blood Tests and Results Training (Non-Clinical staff)
2026-04-16 13:30 - 16:30
The Understanding Blood Tests and Results training course is specifically created for roles such as GP receptionists, HCAs, GPAs, care coordinators, and other support staff. No clinical background is required.

This interactive course helps you build a working knowledge of blood tests and their results, giving you the confidence to support patients and colleagues more effectively in your practice.
By the end of this course, you will:

Understand why blood tests are done and what they look for
Recognise common test names and abbreviations
Feel more confident discussing test results with patients or clinical staff
Know when to escalate or seek clinical advice based on the results
Be a more informed and valuable part of your primary care team

What the Understanding Blood Tests and Results Training Course for Non-clinical staff covers

1. Why Blood Tests Matter in Primary Care
You’ll explore the key reasons why blood tests are ordered in general practice — from routine monitoring to investigating symptoms. Understand how they help in identifying, diagnosing, and managing a wide range of conditions like diabetes, anaemia, infections, and more.

2. Common Blood Tests Explained
We break down the most frequently requested blood tests in primary care, using clear, jargon-free language. Learn about:

Full Blood Count (FBC)
Liver Function Tests (LFTs)
Kidney Function (U&Es)
HbA1c and cholesterol levels
Thyroid testing and more

3. Understanding Results and Therapeutic Ranges
You’ll learn what normal ranges look like, and what it might mean when values are too high or too low. This is essential knowledge for anyone supporting patients who call with queries about their blood test results.

4. Practical Scenarios and Real-World Examples
Using real-life case studies, we’ll walk through examples of typical results and patient journeys. This makes it easier to relate what you’ve learned to day-to-day work in a GP practice.

This is an interactive session and you will be expected to interact. Please ensure you have a camera and microphone available to attend the meeting.

You will receive a certificate post training for your attendance. Places are limited, if you have booked a place, please ensure you attend.
