OVERVIEW
The course aims to really expand the understanding and knowledge of chaperoning in primary care. The course examines the problematic stereotypes of which patients will be offered a chaperone and in which circumstances.
We then go on to examine the roles and responsibilities of chaperones, including developing their knowledge as to an extended definition of intimate examinations, where to stand, what to say and do.
We also discuss what information should be reported after a chaperoning consultation and their role in the event of a complaint being made.

Wellbeing Conversations Training
2024-12-20 10:00 - 11:30
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.

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.

PAM (Patient Activation Measure)Workshop 2.5hr – Virtual via Zoom
2024-12-06 12:30 - 15:00
Patient activation describes the knowledge, skills and confidence a person has in managing their own health and care.
There are twenty places available per each virtual PAM workshop.
Please ensure you are able to join from an individual computer/laptop terminal and have a working camera and microphone.
To apply for a place please fill out this 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.
Please note all applications are registered on a first come, first serve basis.
Once the workshop has been completed PAM outputs/Flourish info’s will then be sent to all participants who have completed the course in full.
Please note that registration on to Flourish is not automatic after completion of a PAM workshop. Some colleagues will benefit from using Flourish for PAM calculator use within their roles. If you wish to access the Flourish System for PAM use, please contact: workforcetraining@activelancashire.org.uk to request this after you have completed your PAM workshop session.
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.

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 that 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 are usually less likely to play an active role in staying healthy. They are less good at seeking help when they need it, or 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 help 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 assesses a patient’s knowledge, skills and confidence in managing their health. Answers provide a score on a scale from 0 to 100. PAM scores between 1 and 99 are considered to be valid responses and allow any respondents to be categorised into one of four defined levels, ranging from level 1 (patients who do not actively contribute to their healthcare) to level 4 (patients who are proactive in managing their health and engage in healthy behaviours) which in turn determine the person’s ‘activation’ score on a level of 1, 2, 3 or 4.
Measuring activation can:

Improve outcomes and reduce costs
Reduce re-admissions and fewer episodes of unplanned and emergency care
Improve patient experience

Using PAM to tailor support for people with long-term conditions
The rising demand for healthcare services, a large proportion of which is due to the growing population of people with long-term conditions, has led to a need to manage the increasing pressure placed on primary and secondary care.
Adults with a long-term condition(s) can report the lowest level of PAM, and may feel overwhelmed by their condition(s). Supported patient self-management is a widely used strategy for trying to address the challenges of managing long-term conditions and multi-morbidity, including helping patients to change lifestyle behaviours and to learn core skills, such as responding to symptoms, managing medicine, improving diet, increasing exercise, stopping smoking, and managing interactions with professionals. People who can achieve this are described as ‘informed or activated clients/patients’. Self-efficacy (a sense of control over actions and outcomes) has been noted to be a key driver.
Why would more activated clients/patients tend to use less healthcare?

They may be better engaged in the ongoing management of their condition(s), consequently their need for healthcare to manage deterioration in their condition is reduced compared with less activated clients/ patients
Clients/patients may also be better equipped to co-ordinate their care, leading to fewer missed general practice and outpatient appointments.

MECC Train the Trainer Chat to Change 1 Day Face to Face Course Preston
2024-12-05 09:00 - 17:00
Free MECC Train the Trainer Chat to Change 1 Day Face to Face Course – Thurs 5th December – Corpus Christi School, Preston

Making Every Contact Count (MECC) is the opportunistic delivery of consistent and concise healthy lifestyle
information via brief or very brief behaviour change interventions, enabling individuals to engage in
conversations about their health at scale across organisations and populations.
Colleagues who work across health and care within the NHS, local authority and voluntary sectors have
thousands of contacts every day with individuals and are ideally placed to support health and wellbeing.
MECC provides an opportunity to discuss health and wellbeing lifestyle pathways which can support and
enable behaviour change for key risk factors including smoking, alcohol, healthy eating, weight, physical
activity, hypertension and mental health.
Using your day to day contact with individuals as an opportunity to encourage and deliver key health
messages to improve their physical and emotional wellbeing, small changes can be made.
People cannot be forced to change, but by using opportunities for raising the issue of a healthy lifestyle in
a non- judgemental way, people’s awareness, confidence and motivation to make changes in their lives may occur
from a brief conversation.
Who is MECC TTT training aimed at?
Making Every Contact Count (MECC) is an approach to improving the health of the population that everyone can
use, it is not restricted to one person, specific profession or organisation. It is aimed at giving staff from a wide
range of organisations the skills they need to encourage individuals to make choices that will prevent illness and
improve their lifestyles and wellbeing
For Lancashire & S Cumbria organisations, MECC can provide staff with the leadership, environment, training
and information they need to deliver the MECC approach.
For staff, MECC means having the competence and
confidence to deliver health and wellbeing messages, to help to encourage people to change their behaviour,
directing them to local services that can support them.

Understanding Blood Tests and Results Training (Non-Clinical staff)
2024-12-04 13:30 - 16:30
COURSE OVERVIEW:
In the dynamic landscape of healthcare, an understanding of blood tests is invaluable for non-clinicians. This course equips participants with the knowledge to navigate the complexities of blood tests, fostering confidence and competence in interpreting results.
MEDICAL NECESSITY:
Participants will delve into the medical reasons behind various blood tests, exploring the diagnostic and monitoring purposes they serve. Understanding the rationale for specific tests empowers non-clinicians to appreciate the role of blood work in uncovering and managing a range of health conditions. From routine screenings to targeted assessments, the course elucidates the diversity of tests employed in primary care.
THERAPEUTIC RANGES:
A crucial aspect of the course is the exploration of therapeutic ranges. Participants will gain insights into the optimal levels of various blood components and the implications of deviations from these norms. Understanding therapeutic ranges is fundamental to recognizing when intervention or further investigation is warranted, ensuring timely and effective patient care.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS:
The course goes beyond theoretical knowledge, incorporating real-world case studies and scenarios. Participants engage in practical exercises, simulating the analysis of diverse blood test results. This hands-on approach enhances their ability to apply theoretical concepts to actual clinical situations.
OUTCOME:
Upon completion, participants emerge with a heightened proficiency in understanding blood tests and results. This newfound expertise enables non-clinicians to contribute effectively to the collaborative healthcare environment, ensuring optimal patient outcomes.
