Nursing Forum
Working within specialised and highly specialised services poses unique challenges for nursing and allied health professional’s teams. There is the requirement to provide care for a geographically disparate patient cohort, encompassing navigation of multiple healthcare systems and multi-stakeholder engagement to deliver care effectively to patients. Nurses working in these services must build relationships with other key clinicians remotely, which requires significant investment of time and a willingness to understand each other’s roles. Innovation is essential to positively impact and manage patients that are not on your doorstep.
These unique challenges are not completely aligned with specialist nurses and allied health professionals working in local or tertiary services and therefore sharing learning opportunities, experiences, and practice innovations may not be so relevant at a more local level. This highlights a gap in the current offering for nurses and allied health professionals working within specialised and highly specialised services to collaborate.

Getting Started Series: Group Consultations and Virtual Group Consultations
The ‘Getting Started’ series is designed to help you think through how you are going to approach any improvement you want to make in practice. It consists of the Project Outline, a generic overview for any potential improvement project and a series of project worksheets, which follow the outline and are designed to guide you through how your project could work in practice about specific issues. Each worksheet has been developed by GPs and practice managers from the Primary Care Improvement Faculty, focusing on topics that are relevant to day-to-day practice.
An example of a case study will be presented to show how you might introduce Group Consultations and Virtual Group Consultations in your practice. The webinar is for all primary care staff. We will consider new models of care, the use of technology, addressing demand and capacity issues and the promotion of peer support and self-care.
It is recommended that you familiarise yourself with the Getting Started Series: Project Outline document, which can be accessed online through Primary Care Improvement Connect, (follow the link to access documents: https://future.nhs.uk/PrimaryCareImprovementCONNECT/view?objectId=167252581).
