Interprofessional Education

This page provides a library of educational resources aimed at a wide range of roles within Primary Care.

Choose from a tutorial if you’re delivering a session to a range of professionals, or a role play if you need to keep everyone awake in that lull after lunch. There is also an e-learning section, a library of webinars to delve into if you are looking to increase your knowledge in a particular area, and information on knowledge and library services available to Primary Care staff.

Click on the buttons below to jump to the relevant section.


Tutorials

Need a topic for tutorial?  Lots of different abilities/levels of experience in the group?  These tutorials are designed for delivery to a range of healthcare professionals in a small group.  If you are facilitating the session then the tutor notes are designed for you. If you are being taught, then look at the healthcare professional notes.


Roleplay

Missed your calling as an actor?  These roleplays are designed for 2 people or more.  One person is the healthcare professional, one the patient and there is a guide for anyone watching who is providing feedback.  Your audience can be as big as you like!

This course aims to inform GPs about the experiences of Black women with breast cancer. It explores the specific risk factors, challenges related to timely diagnosis, and the lived experience of Black women during the diagnosis process. The course will also address the social and cultural barriers to healthcare, using case studies to support GPs develop culturally sensitive and effective approaches to care.

ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder but our research project with GPs shows that many GPs have not received training on ADHD, putting critical barriers in access to care. 

In order to address this lack of training, a team at the University of Nottingham have co-developed and evaluated an online resource. This resource equips GPs with information about how to assess and recognise ADHD in children and adults and provides them with information on their role in the diagnosis and management process of ADHD within the context of primary care.

This free online training only takes 45 minutes and has been:

  • Codeveloped with GPs
  • accredited for CPD by the RCGP
  • Translated in three languages
  • Evaluated through a RCT and showed an increase in knowledge and confidence and a change in practice

The training can be accessed for free on:

https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/helmopen/rlos/practice-learning/mental-health/adhd/

More information on the project (including publications) can be found on:

https://ndlab.org.uk/research/gp-adhd-training?

Details of Tier 1-3 frailty training available to Lincolnshire Primary Care staff can be found below.

Healthcare Staff and Suicide Awareness Training

Available from September 2025, this new e-learning course offers practical, evidence-based advice on how to recognise and support people in crisis, including those experiencing suicidal thoughts. The Healthcare Staff and Suicide Awareness Training is designed to raise awareness of suicide risk within the healthcare workforce and offer practical guidance on how to support someone who may be struggling. The course promotes compassionate understanding and encourages confidence in having potentially life-saving conversations.

Who is the training aimed at?

This training is suitable for anyone aged 16 and over who works in healthcare or has connections to those who do. While tailored to the healthcare context, it is open to all and does not require a log in. It aims to enable more people feel equipped to recognise when someone may be struggling and confident to offer support in a meaningful, informed way.

The training can be found here: Healthcare Staff and Suicide Awareness Training :: Zero Suicide Alliance

Opening Doors – a Suicide Prevention Learning Resource

NHS England has published animation on suicide prevention to support staff on how to recognise signs of suicidal distress in themselves and others, and the ways in which they can seek help.

Called ‘Opening Doors’, the resource has been developed by the authors of the Zero Suicide training, in partnership with healthcare staff who have been impacted by suicide.

The aim of this training is to:

  • Raise awareness of suicide risk within healthcare colleagues.
  • Enable staff to recognise signs of suicidal distress in themselves and others.
  • Support healthcare staff to intervene if they are concerned that a colleague is suicidal, encourage help seeking behaviour and signpost to support.
  • Challenge the stigma of seeking help within the healthcare community.

The training compliments the Suicide Prevention toolkit, which was included within the DHSC Suicide prevention strategy for England: 2023 to 2028.

The training is free to undertake and available on the NHS Learning Hub.

 

Lincolnshire County Council Suicide Prevention Toolkit

The Public Health team at LCC have developed a practical and user-friendly Suicide Prevention Toolkit in collaboration with Lincolnshire Suicide Prevention Lived Experience Forum and the Suicide Prevention Strategic Group. The toolkit aims to equip professionals, volunteers and community members to support people experiencing suicidal thoughts. Find out more and access the toolkit here:

Supporting GP registration for people experiencing Homelessness Programme

This NHSE training programme has been developed to support GP practice staff and complement the new online GP registration service, to reduce the risk of worsening health inequalities for the homeless population.

People experiencing homelessness are entitled to be registered with a GP, whatever their immigration status. All practices are expected to have processes in place to demonstrate (e.g. practice policy, records of refusals) that it has not refused any registration unreasonably, including refusal on the grounds any patient was unable to provide proof of identity or address or any evidence of immigration status.

Access the free e-learning module and more information here (registration required).

Debra (www.debra.org.uk) has created a new EB CPD module in collaboration with EB clinicians and GPs to raise awareness of this group of rare genetic skin blistering conditions and increase diagnoses and referral to the specialist EB healthcare support that is available through the NHS.

The e-learning can be found here: Resources for healthcare professionals | DEBRA UK
