Non-medical prescribers have an important part to play in practice, but the demands on time to support them through the prescribing course is high…

Historically, this support could only be provided by a medic but all of the healthcare regulators have amended their standards to allow non-medical prescribers to be the supervisors / assessors of prescribing students.

This webinar will explore the role of a Designated Prescribing Practitioner (DPP) / Designated Medical Practitioner (DMP) and supervisors of non-medical prescribing students in practice. We will look at:

• Who can perform this role
• What competencies are needed
• How becoming a DPP will support you in your career development

We are hoping to discuss a case study and also to provide some resources, too.

Organised by the Training Hub, his session is offered to all non-medical prescribers (nurses, pharmacists, and AHPs) and GPs interested in developing their education and supervision skills, and to all PCN / practice management staff who’d like to learn about the benefits of having non-medic assessors in their organisation.

Are you an aspiring or new leader / manager in health and care?

Do you struggle with the all-too-common imposter syndrome? That is, a feeling that you’re not as competent as others think, or that you don’t deserve your job. Do you lack confidence in yourself and feel ill-equipped to handle difficult conversations with colleagues and employees? Do you feel you’re at the foot of an overwhelming monolith?

Then this FREE leadership and management development course is for you; open to all aspiring and new primary, community, and social care leaders and managers, it will be delivered through four sessions over the course of this summer and autumn, with each session to be delivered by a different, well-versed guest facilitator.

Please note: the first two sessions will be delivered virtually, while session #3 is likely to be delivered face-to-face. It will not be until September 2022, however.

This FREE, face-to-face event is open to all general practice and primary care staff in leadership and management roles. Running from 9.00 – 16.00 on Tuesday 10^th May, 2022, this event will highlight what the Training Hub can offer practices, PCNs, and learners across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.

We have brought together an ensemble of insightful and talented speakers, who’ll be delivering a range of talks and workshops covering: the importance of investing in the development of general practice staff; how to facilitate greater integration in general practice; how to focus on your own wellbeing; and more. This ensemble of speakers includes:

  Interim Clinical Associate in NHS England and NHS Improvement’s (NHSE / I) primary care team
