The Leadership overarching aim which is part of the HEWM Business Plan is:‘HEWM Leadership Directorate will actively engage with partners to provide high quality leadership interventions ensuring we meet local need by transforming and challenging thinking to develop leaders to deliver high quality care. We will act as advocates for the

National Leadership Academy offers, ensuring local commitment and “buy in”.’

Our ambition is to establish a sustainable regionwide approach to leadership development that is representative of working within a provider-led system. We want to enable our healthcare organisations to both steer and own aspects of leadership development, understanding that the West Midlands holds both highly skilled leadership and organisational development talent, in addition to pockets of exemplary practice in leadership development.

Nationally the priorities through the Leadership Academy (NLA) are already established into 8 key domains, namely:

The intention is therefore to re-energise and refresh the existing priorities and include the additional emerging themes and strengthen this year’s business plan. The leadership team are also aware of emerging priorities through system liaisons. These are:

Shaping New Models of Care in

Community and Primary Care NursingWhy is the health service changing?What does the NHS Forward View mean for the future?How will the Shape of Caring Review play a part?

Speakers will include; Hilary Garratt, NHS England Director of Nursing (Commissioning and Health Improvement), Lisa Bayliss-Pratt, Director of Nursing, HEE and the NHS England Chief Nurse for each region (North: Gill Harris, Midlands and East: Ruth May, London: Caroline Alexander, South: Sarah Elliott).

Book here

The target audience for this event includes; Directors of nursing, Medical Directors,

Commissioners, patient representatives, higher education instituition representatives

and all those working in care environments in community and primary care nursing.

The events are free to attend and places will be allocated on a first come basis. They will begin with registration at 9.30 am, sessions and workshops start at 10.00 am. Each event will finish at 4.00pm.

Healthcare is going to look very different over the next few years: an ageing population, changing patterns of health and disease, more care delivered in community settings, advances in care, treatment and technology, to name a few.

The NHS Five Year Forward View sets out a collective view on how the health service needs to change over the next five years to close the widening gaps in the health of the population, quality of care and the funding of services.

Health Education England’s (HEE) Shape of Caring Review (due to be published in March 2015) aims to ensure that, throughout their careers, nureses and care assistants receive consistent high quality education and training which supports care over the next 15 years.

Join us at one of our four regional events to discuss how you can play your part in delivering the NHS transformation and new models of care, and learn about resources in the pipeline to support work in this changing environment.

In line with our commitment to embedding the principles of prevention and Making every Contact Count (MECC) into the training of our workforce, a bespoke student workbook has been developed by our West Midlands’ based National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Behaviour Change expert. This short practical student workbook has been developed primarily for use by the West Midlands’ higher education institutes MECC Network members who are committed to embedding the principles of prevention and MECC into our commissioned undergraduate curricula. On request, copies have been sent to our Return to Practice Leads for use with their nurses and midwives, with other university leads requesting copies for their student physiotherapists, nurses, sports therapists, optometrists etc. This workbook will assist providers of NHS-funded care to build the prevention of poor health and the promotion of healthy living into their day-to-day business, to help healthcare professionals make every contact count. Please contact Sally James, Public Health Workforce Specialist (Sally.james@wm.hee.nhs.uk) for your copy or for further information. A bespoke version of the MECC workbook is being developed for non-NHS workers, to support the social care and voluntary sector staff who have a huge number of contacts with patients and the public, and for whom there is enormous potential to have a brief “chat for change” that can really help people to begin thinking about changes to their lifestyle and feel encouraged and supported to do so.

Making Every Contact Count

Come Back Campaign returns with Phase Two,Phase One of the Come Back campaign saw over 1,000 people sign-up to return to nursing practice courses across the country through a highly effective social media campaign.

Following a review of the campaign with communications and return to practice leads from across the country last month, final plans have now been made for the launch of phase two.

Following the success of the first phase, social media will still form the key focus for the campaign and will be supported by a new refreshed campaign toolkit, a new promotional film to highlight the benefits of a return, and local comms and PR activity to ensure local awareness and sign-ups.

The campaign hashtag to follow across February and March is #ComeBackToNursing

A Day in the Life of a Physician Associate

The Physician Associate (PA) is: “a new healthcare professional who, while not a doctor, works to the medical model, with the attitudes, skills and knowledge base to deliver holistic care and treatment within the general medical and /or general practice team under defined levels of supervision.”

The PA role is gaining momentum and emerging as a key part of the future multi-disciplinary, multi-skilled, non-doctor workforce in the UK. However, the profession is often poorly understood by peers and employers and remains relatively unknown to the public.

Recent negative publicity within the national tabloid media prompted a backlash against the role, which the industry (PAs, their employers, course providers and stakeholders) felt to be poorly reasoned and inaccurate.Health Education West Midlands (HEWM) is working collaboratively with other LETBs, Health Education England (HEE), regional and national employers, stakeholders and course providers, with an ambition to provide a joined up and robust national training and recruitment strategy.

Without raising public and employer understanding of the role, there is a risk of poor understanding leading to a lack of uptake by commissioners and employers, as well as a negative spin by the press leading to public misconceptions. The documentary concept – “A Day in the Life of a Physician Associate” – was realised as part of a targeted marketing campaign (including digital media, print publications, regional and national conferences and employer liaison), which seeks to pre-empt such issues.

The aim of the documentary is to provide an objective, accessible and informative insight into the world of the PA, in a medium which is versatile enough to be used in a variety of marketing, educational and recruitment-support strategies – both by HEWM / HEE, employers and HEI course teams.

Please click here to view the documentary, which we are pleased to make freely available to all interested parties. For more information please contact: Matt Aiello, Special Projects Manager, Transformation: matthew.aiello@wm.hee.nhs.uk

Leadership Programme for General Practice

A new programme has been developed aimed at three key roles within General Practice – GP, Practice Nurse and Practice Manager. This triumvirate approach will allow Primary Care to optimise its success in building a sustainable approach for the practice team.

By working together the practice can unlock its true potential. This programme has been developed in collaboration with a local provider Ararna – an established business and training organisation.The programme has had many applications in and will be launching 4th March 2015.
