The training hub delivers a number of initiatives and training/events – we’ve started to use Linktree to help stakeholders see what is on offer and make it easy to book on…https://linktr.ee/sytraininghubhttps://linktr.ee/sytraininghub
Health Inequalities Training
Our Health Inequalities team, Blerta and Kathryn, have been delivering training across South Yorkshire and are attending many of the local primary care protected learning (PLI) sessions. They explain the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of health inequalities and importantly what clinicians, working in areas of deprivation with marginalised patients, can do. This builds confidence, knowledge, and skills.

- Population health
- Social justice and health inequality
- Environmental sustainability
Health and Social Care Careers Showcase
Liz, our Innovation Centre Project manager, took part in Sheffield City Council's Health and Social Care Careers Event in July. This was to showcase the Technology Enhanced Learning tools the Hub now offer. Armed with a Pico 4 Enterprise headset she demonstrated ExR Education nursing scenarios and fully immersive VR activities alongside Bodyswaps communications software and our 360 degree digital twin of a GP Practice, in the hopes of inspiring those attending to consider a career in general practice.
Supporting Prescribing
PCWTH is supporting the ICB with increasing prescribing functions – with Pathfinder Project (SY wide), improving uptake of using prescribing amongst pharmacists in Barnsley, piloting a project supporting nurses back to prescribing in Rotherham and working collaboration with ICB on future pharmacist in primary care needing prescribing supervision.
