Primary Care:
Primary Care Workforce & Training Hub (PCWTH):
PCWTH has continued to deliver a broad programme of training across South Yorkshire in 2024/25. This includes our preceptorship training, leadership programmes, health inequalities offer, virtual reality/TEL training, community of practice, clinical skills, IPE and clinical supervision.
We have delivered a number of face to face events across the year for primary care clinical, non-clinical and management/administrative staff.
The PCWTH manages the CPD offer for all nurses and AHPs and ensures that what is being offered is what is needed on the ground https://yhtraininghubs.co.uk/south-yorkshire/south-yorkshire-schemes/cpd-for-nurses-ahps/
In May we delivered a well attended conference looking at how primary care could harness the potential in the PCN rather than practice roles. https://youtu.be/ERIgKC89qGI?si=83Du5wcNnChyPnIP please click for a link to a review of the conference.
The training hub delivered a practice manager’s conference in Barnsley in October with a wide variety of workshops and speakers on topics such as
- Benefits to patients and practice on hiring international nurses
- Sharing of good employment guide
- Impact of communications software (with Bodyswaps)
Negotiating and leadership sessions
We held a graduation event for our refugee nurses on the ReSTORE programme in February. The ReSTORE refugee nurse project has supported 40 refugee nurses and midwives across 4 NHS trusts to date. On the 22nd January, Blerta Ilazi, the ReSTORE lead nurse organised a graduation for some of the completing nurses. This was a great opportunity not only to celebrate the nurses requalifying back into their profession, but also to thank all of those who have worked with ReSTORE including DWP, NMC, volunteers, and the local hospital trusts.
The training hub also developed a ‘good employment guide’ to help practices and PCNs in all things recruitment and retention…
The training hub has been shortlisted for a number of awards this year… 2 x General practice award nominations for our digital work and our nurse educator team and health tech team of the year.
We have just been notified that we have also been nominated for an HSJ Digital award
