It’s no secret that there are GP recruitment and retention issues in BNSSG primary care. If your general practice surgery is struggling with these issues, becoming a Visa Sponsoring Organisation may be part of the solution.

As a Visa Sponsoring Organisation, your practice can sponsor and employ IMG DiTsInternational Medical Graduate Doctors in Training – from overseas, through the Skilled Worker visa programme (formerly known as Tier 2 visa sponsorship). Engagement with this programme provides a range of benefits.

For instance, did you know that the training period for IMG DiTs is shorter than it once was? As such, work visas are required sooner to support them in staying in the UK, where their skills and talents can be put to use supporting our patient population. Skilled Worker visas can help to plug this gap.

Consider becoming a Visa Sponsoring Organisation — and to help you through the process of doing so, we have an EDI GP Fellow in post, Dr. Shital Godbole.

For more information on how to become a Visa Sponsoring Organisation and why ypu should consider doing so, please expand the boxes below.

If you’d like to discuss further, please contact Dr. Godbole, and she’ll arrange a 1:1 meeting with you.

How does my practice become a Visa Sponsoring Organisation?

General practice surgeries can apply to become a Visa Sponsoring Organisation through the government’s website. Before applying, we advise you get in touch with our EDI GP Fellow, Dr. Shital Godbole, to discuss in a 1:1 meeting. Shital can be reached at shital.godbole@nhs.net.

Severn Deanery has helpfully produced a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) around the process – as it relates to practice surgeries in particular – with links to further resources and reading attached.

Please note: funding is available to reimburse costs –​ 100% for small organisations and 50% for large organisations. Please contact Shital for further information.

Severn Deanery’s list of FAQs:
https://primarycare.severndeanery.nhs.uk/training/international-doctors/visas-and-sponsorship-support-primary-care/​​

What are the benefits of becoming a Visa Sponsoring Organisation?

There are various reasons to consider becoming a Visa Sponsoring Organisation, including:

  • We are in the midst of an unprecedented recruitment crisis, with it having become very difficult to identify and employ new GPs
  • An increasing proportion of GP Trainees are IMGs, who require Skilled Worker visas to remain in the UK
  • The training period for DiTs is shorter, so work visas are needed sooner to keep IMGs in the UK
  • GPs from a wider range of backgrounds will be interested in and able to work at your practice if it’s a Visa Sponsoring Organisation, which will further boost your practice’s marketability
  • It’s cost-effective: funding is available to reimburse costs – 100% for small organisations and 50% for large organisations *
  • Staff retention will be improved, as GPs won’t be forced to leave your practice for reasons outside of your / their control, and will see that you’re proactively interested in keeping them
  • GPs from a more varied range of backgrounds will be able to work at your practice, thereby supporting Equality, Diversity, & Inclusion (EDI) targets

For more information about any of the above (* including available funding), please contact our EDI GP Fellow, Dr. Shital Godbole, to discuss in a 1:1 meeting. Shital can be reached at shital.godbole@nhs.net.​​

GP Peer Support Pilot

Photo from Hannah Busing
Apply by Friday 16 December
What is this, and who is it for?

Working with BNSSG Training Hub, Dr. Andrew Hunter (GP Retention Fellow) is introducing a pilot project to support GPs who have left clinical practice due to workload pressures and burnout, and those seriously considering doing so.

Working as a GP has never been more challenging, but we want to help improve your overall well-being and job satisfaction through facilitated peer support. This will support you with continuing to work in primary care, or with returning to clinical work if you’re not currently in post.

The vision is to provide a series of 6 facilitated peer-support group sessions for a group of 10 – 12 GPs, held in person for 4 hours every 3 weeks. This will be during normal working hours, starting in early 2023. The aims of the pilot are to improve overall well-being, job satisfaction, and clinical experience of participants, helping those who have left get back to work and those thinking of leaving feel more confident about their future in primary care.

How can you get involved?

Expressions of interest should be submitted through our sign-up form below, and any questions about the pilot to andrew.hunter17@nhs.net.

We are looking for 10 GPs for the first batch of sessions. We hope that we can find a regular day and time that is mutually convenient to attendees and the facilitator. There are questions about your regular availability below.

Expressions of interest are welcome until Friday 16 December, 2022.

Expressions of interest should be submitted through our sign-up form below, and any questions about the pilot to andrew.hunter17@nhs.net.

                          This FREE, full-day course will run on Thursday 29 September

                          Are you a BNSSG-based GP due to return or recently returned to clinical work after a prolonged absence (due to parental leave or ill health, for instance)? Would you like to boost your confidence and feel supported in your transition back to work following your career break?

                          This FREE one-day course, organised by BNSSG Training Hub’s GP Fellow Dr. Pamela Curtis, can provide that support this Thursday 29 September. From 09.00AM – 04.00PM, we will be covering:

                          • Time management
                          • The new appraisal process
                          • Consultation skills
                          • Useful clinical updates
                          • Signposting to resources

                          More information will be added in the coming weeks! Please stand by.

                                  Each session will see a member of the relevant local authority in attendance, providing support.

                                                          The world of advanced practice is undergoing dramatic shifts, both locally and nationally; but that doesn’t mean you can’t soar!

                                                          To support practices with these changes, BNSSG Training Hub’s ACP Lead and chair of The ACP Forum, Kerri Magnus, will be running PCN Advanced Practice Leads Meetings monthly.

                                                          These meetings will focus on strategic issues, such as funding and career pathways, acting as a portal through which to disseminate new information and updates around advanced practice. They will also support attendees in developing as leaders, providing an opportunity to discuss support needed.

                                                          Attendees should be:

                                                          • Advanced practitioners willing to circulate information to the rest of the advanced practice workforce in their PCN
                                                          • Able to attend monthly meetings

                                                          Meetings will be held on alternating Wednesdays and Thursdays, from 11.00 – 12.00. The first will be on Wednesday 10 November, to discuss the new radiological protocol for first contact, enhanced, and advanced practitioners, and provide an introduction to the Health Education England (HEE) Advanced Practice Demand Survey, due to come around in March 2022.

                                                          The next of BNSSG Training Hub’s GP Buddy Meetings is this Wednesday 24 November, from 20.00 – 21.00. These meetings, arranged by one of the Hub’s GP Fellows, Dr. Pamela Curtis, offer a safe space for GPs returning to work after a short career break (due to parental leave, ill health, or caring responsibilities).

                                                          This is an opportunity in which to discuss the things that matter to you – be it clinical work, career goals, or your personal well-being – and in a format of your choosing (as a ‘study group, via action learning sets, etc.). Increase your confidence, and support colleagues in a similar boat.

                                                          To register for the next GP Buddy Meeting, please complete the application form.
                                                          Is remote consulting compatible with personalised care or does something have to give?

                                                          In a new report commissioned by the NHS Personalised Care Institute, and conducted by researchers from the National Institute for Health Research Applied Research Collaboration West (NIHR ARC West) and the University of Bristol’s Centre for Academic Primary Care (CAPC), the relationship between personalised care and remote consulting is examined. Both are at the forefront of NHS England’s agenda, but the distance between clinician and patient afforded by remote consulting is not necessarily conducive to creating health plans jointly them.

                                                          In addressing this potential conflict, researchers sought to answer the following questions:

                                                          • How does remote consultation affect access to healthcare and quality of care?
                                                          • Is remote healthcare as good as face-to-face?
                                                          • When are remote consultations not suitable?
                                                          • Can personalised care be delivered remotely?

                                                          In short, the report concludes that remote consultations are not inherently good or bad, with their effectivity being dependent on the patient’s needs, life stage, and finances. Health professionals are advised to think carefully about how to use remote consultations, and for what purpose, and to enable patients in having a choice about how their consulted.
