Support for GPNs

BLMK General Practice Nurse Forum

The BLMK GPN forum was set up by one of our GPN place leads and now runs regularly throughout the year. It takes place virtually via MS Teams and is an opportunity to come together with other GPNs from across BLMK, receive updates and ask questions. If you would like to be added to the invitation list for the GPN forums then please contact: ccs.blmk.traininghub@nhs.net

GPN Peer Support Whatsapp Group:

There is a Whatsapp Group for all GPNs working in BLMK where you can ask questions of your colleagues. If you would like to be added to the group, please contact: ccs.blmk.traininghub@nhs.net

GPN Place Leads

We have a GPN Place Lead for each of the four places across BLMK. The place leads are available to provide 1:1 advice and support to GPNs across their patch as well as support to practices with recruitment and retention of GPNs. If you would like to get in touch with your local place lead, please contact the Training Hub who will be able to introduce you: ccs.blmk.traininghub@nhs.net

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Programme

We have a programme of CPD which runs throughout the year and is fully funded by the Training Hub. Click here to see our current training opportunities but please note that these are updated regularly throughout the year so please do check back.

Support with Research and Quality Improvement

Do you struggle to find the time to complete a literature search to find out what the most up to date evidence is on a particular topic? Would you love to conduct a QI project but struggle to find the evidence needed to back up your ideas?

The Training Hub is very excited to have a Knowledge Specialist working on our team who can carry out literature searches on your behalf and help you to access journal articles and best practices sites. Beth would be more than happy for you to contact her to discuss your particular needs. Please email her at: beth.thompson16@nhs.net
