- First 5, 7th September - A quick reminder that the First 5 group is restarting in September. The meetings will alternate between in person and virtual with the first meeting on the 7th September at the Firepit in Curry Rivel, famed for excellent pizza which will be provided on the night! The first 5 group has tailored education and support for those in their first five years after CCT. The meeting on the 7th will be a general discussion and getting to know you and discussion of learning needs for the year ahead.
- Diabetes Study Day 18th October Taunton Racecourse - The diabetes study day agenda is now confirmed and on the website. Once again, we are running concurrent study days. The usual study day for those involved in the management of people with diabetes and responding to popular demand the HCA / Health coach event has been expanded to a full day.
- Metabolic Health Day 8th May Taunton Racecourse - Metabolic health is an increasing topic of discussion in primary care focussing on lifestyle intervention to improve the health of our population. We are very lucky to have colleagues in Somerset who specialise in this field. Campbell Murdoch is planning a fantastic day on metabolic health.

SFT Nurse Legacy Nurses not to be confused with Training Hub Legacy Nurses advert You may have recently seen an advert introducing the new Nursing Legacy Mentor team. This is not to be confused with Somerset Training Hub advert for Legacy Nurses. We are currently recruiting experienced General Practice Nurses to support our GPN Fellowship Programme. Our Legacy Nurses will provide individualised support to nurses new to primary care and work with practices to provide mentoring over 2 years. Our next cohort is due to commence end of October and we will be sending information out to practices very soon.
Legacy Mentoring is one of the Chief Nursing Officer's High Impact actions to support nurse retention. This initiative has been funded by NHS England for a year across Somerset.
SFT have recruited experienced nurses to offer coaching support to newly registered colleagues (within first 24 months in post). This includes primary care nurses. The mentors aim to help facilitate a positive working environment for people in their early career and provide support through coaching and mentoring.
