15^th October: It’s All About People: Two-day Community Reporter course

Sharing stories that can shape better services

Rooted in the Five Foundations of Our Shared Agreement, Community Reporting helps people develop the skills and confidence to capture and share real-life experiences that can inspire change across health, care and communities.

Learning through conversation

Kindly hosted by Active Lincolnshire, the training brings together people from voluntary and community organisations, local councils and the University of Lincoln.

Throughout the course, participants will explore creative ways to tell stories through “snapshot stories”, practise conversational interviewing techniques and begin co-producing a set of best practice principles for ethical and responsible storytelling.

Building a growing network

The training forms part of a wider Lincolnshire Community Reporting programme. National charity People’s Voice Media has trained eight Lincolnshire trainers in its proven three-step Community Reporting approach. Supported by the It’s All About People team, these trainers are now helping staff, volunteers and local people develop the skills to listen, capture and share their lived experiences, which can help shape better services and stronger communities.

Join the next course

The next free two-day Community Reporter course will take place on 15 October and 24 November in Sleaford.

Whether you work in health and care, volunteer in your community, or simply want to help ensure people’s voices are heard, we’d love you to join us.

27^th January: National Polypharmacy Action Learning Sets.

• Cohort 4- 27^th Jan, 10^th Feb, 24^th Feb:  https://PolypharmacyALSCohort4.eventbrite.co.uk

These sessions are for GPs and primary care clinicians with a minimum of 12 months’ prescribing experience working with older people with multimorbidity.

The Polypharmacy Action Learning Set (ALS) is an evidence-based learning model developed by Health Innovation Wessex (formerly Wessex AHSN) in partnership with Health Education England.

The ALS will also help Primary Care Networks (PCNs) deliver the Medicines Optimisation elements of the Directed Enhanced Services and Investment and Impact Fund contracts, and meet recommendation 18 of the National Overprescribing Review report.

This online interactive course is held over three half days (9:30 – 12pm):

Session 1: Polypharmacy – the scale, impact and challenges around stopping medicines safely. We will define inappropriate medicines and look at the patient perspective.

Session 2: What tools are available to help? We will explore shared decision making, the evidence and tools to help conduct high quality medication reviews.

Session 3: Workshop and facilitated discussions with Consultant Geriatricians to share experience of medication reviews and consolidate learning.

If you have any questions about the Polypharmacy ALS please contact: medicines.optimisation@hiwessex.net
