Wellbeing webinar: Eat. Sleep. Refract. Repeat
2024-07-24 19:00 - 20:00 | Online event
Take a moment to think about what you had for dinner last night. Leftovers? Takeaway? Maybe you rustled something up from scratch.
Next, try and recall the details. What did you eat first? What did you savour until the end? What time did you eat? How long did it take you to finish? What did you drink? Did you have a pudding? A late-night snack? What had you done beforehand? How about afterwards? What time did you go to bed? Do you even care?
But what if you knew that all of those teeny decisions affect every single aspect of your life: from the size of your clothes; to your mood; energy levels; the ability to concentrate and perform tasks; your sleep quality; risk of disease; and even how long you’ll live.
This webinar will explore how making simple lifestyle adjustments to three key ‘pillars’ – sleep, nutrition and exercise – can deliver significant long-term benefits to both physical and mental wellbeing.
The session is free and open for practitioners and the wider practice team to attend.
Please use the following link to book your place. This events is free to members and non-members

PAM (Patient Activation Measure)Workshop 2.5hr – Virtual via Zoom
2024-08-09 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.

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

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.

This course does not cover anaphylaxis or basic life support. This must be completed separately.

In line with the Public Health England (2018) Minimum Standards and Core Curriculum for Immunisation Training for Registered Healthcare Practitioners, we have developed a blended approach of both an e-learning and a face-to-face taught course which previously consisted of two full taught days. Those new to immunisation are required to receive comprehensive foundation immunisation training.

The programme is free to access just register to use the e-lfh portal.
Delegates will be expected to complete a questionnaire post-session in order to receive a certificate of completion.
The course is designed around the updated National Minimum Standards and the competency assessment tool which must be undertaken in clinical practice following completion of the workshop. Please see the link below for a copy of the competency assessment tool for registered practitioners:
