- If you haven’t recently checked it out, you may want to look at the South West Primary Care Academy website. They have a number of free courses which people in primary care are able to attend. Upcoming events include “what to do when things go wrong”, “dealing with challenging mental health”, “managing risk and uncertainty in primary care”, “using quality improvement tools”, “interpretation of blood results in primary care for MSK FCP physios”, “time management”, “making meetings more productive”.
- Are you interested in developing skills to work and lead in complex systems? Primary care operates in a complex environment, and "Systems Thinking" can help navigate it. Cherith Simmons Leadership and Development offers a UK apprenticeship course in Systems Thinking at Level 7 (equivalent to a master’s). This two-year course teaches advanced problem-solving through nine proven methods, delivered in small, interactive groups with expert tutors. Apprentices immediately apply their learning in their current roles, providing real value to their organisations. For more information, contact course tutor Simon MacCormac . Other providers are available via the government’s training provider directory .
