Thank-you to everyone who attended our lunch and learn session last week. Our guest speaker Sam Tyrer discussed his own experiences of living with mental health issues and how this influenced his reasons for working for the NHS. He also shared about how he wants his work to influence the outcomes of children and young people and is a fantastic advocate for raising awareness of mental health, the stigma that comes with this and raised some issues that young people are currently facing. Sam shared some really useful guidance for working with young people – or your own children and discussed some useful strategies to apply to cope with your own anxiety or mental health worries.

The uncertainty and anxiety that come with the experience of complexity can be overwhelming. It can be hard to think clearly and act wisely, and our wellbeing can easily suffer. The Covid-19 pandemic has made these experiences an everyday occurrence for many people, and the need for us to work clearly, wisely and healthily has never been more pressing.
The King’s Fund have put together 3 workshops to lift the lid on complexity. They’ll explore how encouraging ourselves and others to understand and acknowledge the loss of control when faced with complexity can help us, our teams and our wider organisational systems survive and even thrive in conditions of uncertainty.
The workshops will help you:

A new agreement has been reached between independent healthcare providers and the NHS, allowing staff to train in elective surgery or diagnostic activities. Hundreds of thousands of patients are treated in independent facilities with around half a million NHS procedures each year being delivered by independent hospital. This agreement will allow the opportunity to utilise almost all available independent hospital capacity to ease the pressure off the NHS.
Professor Cliff Shearman, Vice President of the Royal College of Surgeons of England said;
We are delighted our work with NHSE, HEE and the Independent Health Providers Network has led to this agreement. It’s only right that NHS-funded treatment should help train the NHS workforce of the future. Every opportunity should be taken to provide them with access to good quality training opportunities.”
