Virtual Workshop | Interpretation of Blood Results in Primary Care for MSK FCP Physios
2025-01-15 09:30 - 12:30 | Online
The Primary Care Academy (South West) would like to invite you to attend
“Interpretation of Blood Results in Primary Care for MSK FCP Physios” educational session which will be held on:
Wednesday 15th January 2025 0930-1230
Do you wonder what on earth all the various blood results mean?

Are you worried in case a result means something serious might be going on and you might miss it?

Feedback from colleagues tells us that you are not alone. There is guidance for different professionals about our responsibilities when it comes to requesting and interpreting/filing blood results. All practitioners should clearly work within their own scope of practice, but we hope the following workshop may be just what you need to start feeling more comfortable with what the various results mean for patient care.

In this session we will aim to:

* Increase your confidence in the interpretation of the common blood results
* Develop strategies to distinguish between what is normal, acceptable, and abnormal for a particular patient
* Increase your confidence in identifying when an abnormal result might indicate that a greater degree of urgency is needed
* Benchmark our management of abnormal results against our peers to reassure us that we are on the right track

Virtual Workshop | Using Quality Improvement Tools
2024-12-11 13:30 - 16:30 | Online
The Primary Care Academy (South West) would like to invite you to attend
“Using Quality Improvement Tools” educational session which will be held on:
Wednesday 11th December 2024 1330-1630
Most clinicians are expected to undertake some Quality Improvement activity each year as part of best practice, keeping up to date and for appraisal/revalidation purposes. But we know that not everyone is a Q.I. enthusiast.
This workshop will aim to
* Help busy clinicians identify suitable areas to focus their Q.I. efforts on
* Increase understanding of the most common types of Q.I. tools and how they can be used to promote patient safety
* Increase the likelihood that Q.I. work can be completed efficiently and effectively, and actually make a difference to patient care
* To encourage some reflection on the obstacles that can hinder Q.I. with reference to leadership styles and approach to change within our organisations

Virtual Workshop | Managing Risk and Uncertainty in Primary Care
2024-11-27 09:30 - 12:30 | Online
The Primary Care Academy (South West) would like to invite you to attend
“Managing risk and uncertainty in Primary Care” educational session which will be held on:
Wednesday 27th November 2024 at 0930-1230
Patients are getting more and more complicated, and it seems things are rarely straightforward these days. This 3-hour interactive workshop will explore some of the strategies we can use as clinicians to help create certainty out of an increasingly complex world!
* Do you ever feel overwhelmed when things are not clear cut with patients?
* Do you worry about over or under investigating patients – and how do you know if you got it right?
* Do you worry that blood results can be difficult to interpret?
* And does it feel like more patients are being medicalised and given labels / medicines than ever before?
If you answered YES to any of the above, then this workshop will help you feel more comfortable with managing uncertainty and will make links to overdiagnosis and how we as clinicians can gauge how to pitch it at the right level and reduce that fear of being criticised for over or under treating someone.

Virtual Workshop | Dealing with Challenging Mental Health Presentations
2024-11-20 09:30 - 12:30 | Online
The Primary Care Academy (South West) would like to invite you to attend
“Dealing with Challenging Mental Health” educational session
Wednesday 20th November at 0930-1230
Patients who present with complex mental health issues can be emotionally draining for clinicians, but can also end up being long consultations, leaving clinicians running behind which is stressful for everyone (especially the next patient who then thinks up more problems for you while they are waiting!)
The objectives of this 3-hour interactive workshop are therefore to:

Increase our confidence in managing consultations in patients with mental health problems.
2. Gain some practice in managing highly charged consultations especially where there may be some conflict.
3. Feel more confident in our risk management approach to patients who may be suicidal, and strategies to deal effectively with patients who are lower risk.
