An opportunity to explore in more detail the issue of failure demand, first introduced as a concept in Webinar I.

Before attending this session, participants should attend webinars I and II, to be familiar with the theory of Demand, Capacity and Variation and how to collect and review data at practice level.

FFP3 Mask Fit Testing at Blackpool Victoria Hospital (30-minute slots)
2024-03-19 09:00 - 16:00
Victoria Hospital
Whinney Heys Road Blackpool FY3 8NR
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.
Blackpool Teaching Hospitals has set up sessions on Tuesday 19 March. A number of 30-minute slots are available to book.
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.
The testing will take place in the portacabin in the car park at Blackpool Victoria Hospital, Whinney Heys Road, Blackpool, FY3 8NR.
Attendees are able to park directly outside for the duration of their booked session.
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.

PAM (Patient Activation Measure) Workshop
2024-03-15 09:30 - 12:00
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.

APM Thames Valley: Demystifying digital accessibility
2024-03-14 18:00 - 19:30
What is digital accessibility? (Spoiler: it’s making sure we design and develop websites, systems, and digital content and experiences which are accessible by everyone – including disabled users.)
We’ll take a look at the principles behind it and why it’s vital (and often overlooked) in today’s organisations. We’ll think about how it can benefit staff, clients and customers, and how ensuring best practice in digital accessibility can act as a strong foundation to help to foster an inclusive and diverse organisational culture. We’ll also consider the practical challenges which are faced when embedding best practice in digital accessibility into ways of working, and how applying change management principles can provide an effective toolkit for approaching and assisting with this.
The Equality Act (2010) broadly protects certain characteristics, including the rights of disabled people so that everyone can have equal access to participate in society. This includes online and digital spaces, and it’s therefore vital to make sure that our organisations, services, digital content, and ways of working are set up in the right way to accommodate the needs of a diverse audience so that everyone can feel included and engaged. This includes considering best practice in a wide range of contexts – from the documents you make and use, the websites you build, the development cycles you follow, to the IT solutions you procure, and the online meetings you host. Good digital accessibility is more than just meeting our legal obligations, it’s the right thing to do. Without an inclusive approach, you could be at risk of excluding people, whether that’s team members, or potential customers.
There are principles, standards, and best practice which we need to follow, and these can often take a certain amount of time, effort, and expertise to interpret, but you don’t have to be an expert to get to grips with the basics. The journey to becoming more accessible is exactly, that – a journey rather than a quick fix. There are ways in which you can embed good digital accessibility into ways of working sustainably and effectively by following small steps to ensure the change management process is as smooth as possible.
