On behalf of the Protected Learning Time Steering Group
1 Management of Male Factor Infertility
Mr Kevin McEleny - Consultant Urologist, QEH and Centre for Life, Newcastle upon Tyne.
Up until recently, few if any options were available to treat male factor infertility. This situation has now changed and Mr McEleny will give an update on treatment options now available both locally and nationally.
(This will also give us a chance to meet one of the new consultants working at QEH)
2 Diabetes – Questions & Answers Session
Dr Narayanan - Consultant Physician, QEH
Previously we have organised workshops to discuss new developments around diabetes. On this occasion however, Dr Narayanan will answer specific questions from Gateshead clinicians. To do this effectively, clinicians are invited to e-mail questions to Dr Narayanan in advance on kilimangalam.narayanan@ghnt.nhs.uk He will collate the questions and aim to answer as many as possible.
3 Management of Chronic Constipation in Adults
Mr M Mercer-Jones - Consultant Surgeon QEH
Chronic constipation in adults is a very common condition seen in primary care. Management can be difficult especially with co-morbidity and polypharmacy. Mr Mercer-Jones will outline the initial management options in primary care and then discuss which patients may require further intervention together with what is currently available at QEH.
4 Inflammatory Joint Disease - Early Diagnosis and Associated Co-morbidity
Dr Martin Rynne - Consultant Rheumatologist, QEH
Early diagnosis and treatment of Inflammatory Joint Disease has been shown to decrease long term disability. New treatments are more readily available. Inflammatory Joint Disease has also been associated with vascular disease. Dr Rynne will discuss the early diagnosis of Inflammatory Joint Disease, initial management, use of sub-cut methotrexate and what other co-morbidity clinicians should be screening for in this group of patients.
5 Childrens Continence Services
Michelle Newton - Children’s Continence Advisor SoTW
Urinary and bowel incontinence places considerable strain upon not only the children affected but also on the wider family. School work and relationships are often adversely affected. A new unified service has been developed within the NHS South of Tyne & Wear. Michelle will give an update of the service and what options are available to help these children and their families.
6 Healthcare Acquired Infections [HCAI’s]
Dr Sue Hudson, Consultant Microbiologist, QEH, Melanie Milburn, Lead Infection Control Nurse, Jeanette Stephenson, Head of Medicines Management
HCAI’s are relevant to Gateshead since we have 2.5 times the national average for community C Difficile infection. Also from 2012 all general practices will need to register with the Care Quality Commission [CQC] and as part of that process demonstrate safe infection control practice.
This workshop will look at all the local efforts to reduce both C Difficile and MRSA infection across Gateshead through improved prescribing and clinical care, and help prepare us for the infection control aspect of CQC registration.

To help carers and professionals working in a wide range of services, including health and mental health, education, youth work, drug & alcohol services, support services and counselling services, feel more confident in supporting those people who self-harm and where to get /refer to more specialised support.
Trainer:
Jill Eastham brings to the training her own personal experience of using self-harm to cope with the trauma of reliving painful memories of childhood sexual abuse. She offers part of her own ‘story’ to help you understand the individual meaning and purpose of her own past self-harm and describes the factors that were helpful to her in beginning to reduce and eventually stop that need to self-harm. As a professional counsellor, Jill developed Self-Injury Support in North Cumbria (SIS) into a unique independent service that was valued for its expertise and person-centred ethos. Jill offers professional understanding and insights from her work with the charity to further your knowledge around self-harm. In particular NICE guidelines, case studies and examples of care management are included.

Event Description:
Enhance Your Telephone Consultation
Morning seminar 09:00-12:00
Recent studies show that around 20% of daytime primary care contacts with patients are on the telephone. This figure is rising, affecting us all. Hospitals are using the telephone more to reach out to patients and heavy and increasing use is made of the telephone for emergency care.
The challenge is to understand what the patient’s concerns might be, as well as collecting the clinically important information, without the usual clues available by being able to see the patient.
Unsurprisingly, telephone calls are also a significant source of complaints and even lawsuits. Our seminar introduces some interesting evidence and allows the group to process it with facilitated discussion.
Group exercises allow the participants to examine some of the important messages and to reflect on their own experience, before moving to rehearsal of specific skill areas that will most repay development– you will leave with enhanced skills for handling these contacts with patients.
Communicating About Risks With Patients
Afternoon seminar 13:00-16:30
Clinical care is risky. Untreated illness carries risk, treatments carry risk and screening procedures bring risks. For a patient to know if a treatment, procedure or screening test is worthwhile, they need to understand these risks, as well as having a clear idea of the chances of benefiting from the intervention in the first place.
The precise communication of risk, in terms that patients can understand, is not an easy task. We balance brief presentation, focused discussion, group work and skills rehearsal – supported by a referenced workbook and moving briskly to retain learner engagement. Participants will leave with their skills enhanced and with a new tool to use in these conversations with their patients.

FATS has been revised following publication of various NICE guidelines and presentation of the SEARCH study, and we now have FATS5.

We have arranged two meetings, one in Newcastle and one in North Tyneside with local clinicians to tell you about these, and discuss them with you – you can attend either one of these meetings regardless of where you are based. There will be plenty of time for questions. In addition, we also have TRAMP, which are local thyroid guidelines and we propose to include a presentation about those as well.

Event Description:
Doctors, nurses and other clinicians can change their
consultation behaviour in ways that:
• Improve clinical outcomes for patients
• Improve satisfaction for both patient and clinician
• Promote effective use of clinician’s time
• Reduce medico-legal risk
Research makes it clear that learner behaviour change
requires practice, observation, feedback & rehearsal.
Calgary Cambridge is the most comprehensive framework available - combining evidence of
skills that matter, learning with best evidenced teaching methods.
Several Speciality Training Committees have mandated our skills based training for SpRs. Most
college exams now test this competence. Revalidation against the principles of “Good Medical
Practice” is expected to require evidence of skill development in this domain.

Course structure
The course is an intensive one day course, using a lecture based format. Plenty of opportunity will be given for questions, and humour and video clips are used to illustrate points being made and to help maintain concentration. The presenters discuss the results of the most important and relevant research papers, placing them in the context of all the research evidence in this area and the needs of primary care. Suggestions are made of ways that the new research can be implemented in the consultation. On the day, registration starts at 8.30 and the course starts promptly at 9.00 and finishes at 17.00.
The GP Update Handbook
The Handbook is a 350 page document outlining the results of the most important research relevant to primary care over the last 5 years. The Handbook covers more subjects more extensively than is possible in the one-day course and is a valuable resource document for current needs and future reference.

Event Description:
Children whose welfare is at risk are more likely than their peers to present to doctors and nurses. And doctors and nurses may be the first people to recognise the warning signs of a child at risk of harm or neglect.
With gross abuse, recognition and the right course of action is not hard to discern (although not necessarily easy to execute).
More commonly, we develop a concern, such that further investigation of a child is thought to be helpful. These “greyer” areas can be difficult to share with parents – most clinicians find them uncomfortable and few have received the sort of detailed training that is likely to be professionally useful.
In our seminar, participants’ compare their own experiences. We process some ideas and facts with discussion and group exercises. In common with all EPI training, we then move to practice focused areas of conversations, using suggestions based on best current evidence.
.The health agenda is moving more and more towards prevention of ill health and maintenance of health. So, whether it is the management of a chronic condition (e.g. diabetes, hypertension) or the targeting of specific behaviours (e.g. smoking, drinking, alcohol, and loosing weight) consultations are increasingly likely to address patient behaviour.
However these sorts of conversations are frequently mentioned (by doctors, nurses & allied professionals) as the most frustrating they have with their patients. How can we target our time efficiently whilst retaining effectiveness with patients?
There is an increasing research base to show us which behaviours help.
In this seminar, we introduce some of the most significant evidence and allow the group to process it with facilitated discussion. In particular, the techniques of Motivational Interviewing have much to offer & are explored.

Event Description:
Can we trust the GPs?
Does the public trust the GPs and are they right to do so? Are older people discriminated against in our healthcare system and are GPs party to that? Do GPs take rationing decisions and should they? Are GPs really interested in keeping the population healthy?
GPs have been – along with other doctors – shown to discriminate against some groups of patients. We need to tease out why, and GPs need to be clear with the public. Yet in almost all areas GPs are more trusted than almost all other professionals – and there is a reason for that. So though GPs need to change, it is really the system that needs to change even more. And – with some exceptions – we can, broadly, trust the GPs.

Event Description:
Doctors, nurses and other clinicians can change their consultation behaviour in ways that
• Improve clinical outcomes for patients
• Improve satisfaction for both patient and clinician
• Promote effective use of clinician’s time
• Reduce medico-legal risk
Research makes it clear that learner behaviour change requires practice, observation, feedback & rehearsal. Calgary Cambridge is the most comprehensive framework available - combining evidence of skills that matter, learning with best evidenced teaching methods.
Several Speciality Training Committees have mandated our skills based training for SpRs. Most college exams now test this competence. Revalidation against the principles of “Good Medical Practice” is expected to require evidence of skill development in this domain.

STAFF DEVELOPMENT TRAINING SESSION
The gradual refinement of assessment methods introduced for the clinical years of the MBBS curriculum has brought about a more robust scrutiny of students' professional behaviour. The benefit of this has been the identification in a systematic way of inappropriate behaviours, actions or general concerns. This session will look at the different routes available to us in resolving such matters. The event will involve plenary and small group sessions and case studies will support the discussions.

Event Description:
The formal part of the evening will be preceeded by a hot buffet (6.45- 7.30pm) to facilitate networking. If you wish to attend for the buffet please email me at pfwright@doctors.org.uk
The formal part of the evening will start at 730pm- 9pm.
The exact details of the programme will be confirmed on the nelg website nearer the date but is likely to comprise a brief talk 20mins followed by time in smaller groups (optin between SDLGs, Balint or comentoring options) with time to feedback discussion later in the evening.
SELF DIRECTED LEARNING GROUPS (SDLGs), BALINT GROUPS (BG) AND CO-MENTORING GROUPS (CMG)
This evening aims to:
-increase awareness of the value of these various kinds of professional groups
-facilitate networking between doctors wishing to set up new groups or join groups
-facilitate sharing of good practice between existing groups
-facilitate collective learning : what have we learn over the the last year about models which work well for self -directed learning groups
What are they and why might I want to join one ?
1) Education and Support. They are groups of practitioners who meet regularly to address their shared professional development needs. Broadly this means meeting for educational purposes and also for peer support. For example:
a) the group may agree a set of priority topics which all are interested in receiving an update on. These are shared out amongst individual group members who bring the prepared topics to help others get up to speed.
b) each member to volunteer to keep track of a certain publication for a few months and report back with important articles.
2) Benefiting from the work of others not just your own. Everyone benefits from the collective efforts of the group rather than each practitioner having to be totally self reliant to keep up to date and feeling overwhelmed by the volume of new publication guidelines and directives published.
3) Tricky subjects are better dealt with by talking: There are particular topics which are difficult to get to grips with without discussion and exploration e.g. policy changes in the NHS such as practice based commissioning, ethical problems, professional development decisions, significant events, and complaints. We all look up different Puns and Dens and learn about new resources.
4) Motivation Because groups set topics and share them out tasks may feel more achievable which helps motivation. Peer expectations also have a beneficial effect on personal habits.
5) Isolation. Practitioners may feel isolated at work either because there are infrequent opportunities for meeting with others during working time, because they are a locum, or they are not at work when practice meetings occur, or they are the only salaried doctor in their practice. Maslow said that according to a “hierarchy of needs” individual performance is improved when people have a sense of “belonging” to a social network.
6) Revalidation is likely to impact differently on different doctors. Locums may be under special scrutiny unless they are seen to work in a managed environment. Forming a SDLG may be an important first step in this process.
BALINT GROUPS:
Dr Suchdev from Gateshead will be attending to talk to us about Balint groups.
Co-mentoring- Dr Jane Dammers (GP choice) will be attending to talk about co-mentoring groups.

STAFF DEVELOPMENT TRAINING SESSION
'Roleplaynorth Communication Skills'
A simulated patient (sometimes referred to as a “standardised” patient) is someone who has been carefully trained to portray the emotional, symptomatic and physical
characteristics of an actual patient. The simulated patient is able to express the same symptoms and even to demonstrate the same physical examination findings as the “real” patient and in addition is trained to provide feedback to students on their performance during the encounter. These simulations, and the use of role-play, are playing an increasingly important role in the education and assessment of healthcare professionals allowing instructors and examiners to carefully control the clinical learning experience. This session will look at the uses of simulated patients and allow participants to practice setting up and running role-plays.

VIDEO NOT NEEDED. For those who are able to record a video - great. We offer effective training to those not able to do so.
Leraners create their own agenda and we bring our experience to bear to create a highly personalised experience for all.
Ideal if "Relationships with Patients" is on your pdp. Or if you would like to enhance your effectiveness in patient consulting. Or if you have any sort of teaching role in relation to doctors, nurses or other clinicians' consultations.

Event Description:
The North East Change Centre runs a series of learning opportunities both on a sector basis and across organisational boundaries. we are currently planning a new programme and are keen to guage interest from NELG members.
[this is a reissue as the full details did not appear first tiime round]
We aim to cover the following topics.
Change Management.
Change is non-linear and emergent, how do we manage to targets when we have little control over the systems we need to change?
The Leadership Challenge.
This is an early exploration of a complex field with the opportunity for delegates to explore their own challenges with inputs from the event leader(s).
Cross-cutting Working.
Following the success of ‘Making Cross-Organisational Partnerships Work’, where we looked at the challenge of driving effective partnership working, we are continuing our exploration of this complex topic with this stand-alone session which explores further the differences between Partnership Working, Joint Commissioning and Joint Ventures and the different approaches required for each. We hope to give an opportunity to explore delegate’s current issues.
Preventing and Managing Workplace Disputes. Previous seminars have been very well received and we are continuing our exploration of how positive management of conflict can improve performance and staff satisfaction. This work will be led by Nicola Sugden of re;solution.
Facilitation Skills. We seek to avoid the obstacles to success in facilitation and give participants the opportunity to explore this important skill.
The attached programme outline describes the events in some detail.

Event Description:
2 day intensive communication skills course. A small group of up to 8 participants - aimed at doctors from registrar level onwards. Also experienced nurses and nurse practitioners - in prmary or secondary care.
Sessional and locum doctors face particular communication challenges stemming particularly from not having the same opportunities to develop long term relationships with patients. Whilst not always a bad thing, the fact of being new to lots of your patients poses increased clinical and medicolegal risk and can be a challenge to time-effectiveness.
We present the core elements of the Calgary Cambridge framework. We then generate a group agenda and work on the particular needs of the participants.
By the end of two days
- everyone will have had an individual review session
- a wide group agenda will have been addressed
- participants will have working mastery of the Calgary Cambridge framework
We will support you in preparation and we will leave you with a clear direction for continued purposeful development of your effectiveness in communications with patients.
Course fee is £345 and this includes
- facilitated training for 2 days
- venue
- refreshement and lunch on both days
- guided preparation
- workbook/textbook for course and supporting cpd after the event
- CSQ - the Consulting Skills Questionnaire - a lifetime personal licence for participants

Event Description:
• OPEN DISCLOSURE – WHEN THINGS GO WRONG – the National Patient Safety Agency advises “Open Disclosure” training for all clinicians. A framework to handle conversations with patients when we have to tell the patient that something went wrong.
The RCGP suggests that, for revalidation, GPs should be able to demonstrate training or reflection in communication skills within the last 5 years – e.g. through videos of consultations or a Calgary Cambridge course. These courses offer you a skills update -to improve your clinical practice and to prepare you for revalidation.
They are run by Effective Professional Interactions Ltd, designed with the specific needs of GPs and revalidation in mind. The sessions are facilitated by Dr Malcolm Thomas, who has a background in General Practice and GP education.
About the courses
• Evidence about skills that matter and evidence about how learners improve.
• We use a blend of facilitated group discussion, group exercises, brief presentations and, especially, skills rehearsal
• We use a balance of learning styles – theory, reflection and activity.
• You will receive a workbook & other tools to use during & after the session; adding to your CPD portfolio and providing evidence for revalidation. No video needed.
Fee £45

They are run by Effective Professional Interactions Ltd, designed with the specific needs of GPs and revalidation in mind. The sessions are facilitated by Dr Malcolm Thomas, who has a background in General Practice and GP education.
About the courses
• Evidence about skills that matter and evidence about how learners improve.
• We use a blend of facilitated group discussion, group exercises, brief presentations and, especially, skills rehearsal
• We use a balance of learning styles – theory, reflection and activity.
• You will receive a workbook & other tools to use during & after the session; adding to your CPD portfolio and providing evidence for revalidation. No video needed.

Event Description:
The theme of the afternoon is Every Child Matters. Every Child Matters is a national strategy for improving the health and welfare of all children and young people. It describes five aims, or outcomes, for children. They are that they;
• Be healthy
• Stay safe
• Enjoy and achieve
• Make a positive contribution
• Achieve economic well-being
The workshops are based on these outcomes. They will aim to update knowledge and skills in areas that we may already have some expertise, but also raise awareness (and hopefully interest!) of the role that all members of the primary healthcare team can have in other areas of childrens’ lives that we may have traditionally seen as ‘someone else’s’ responsibility.
A key theme of Every Child Matters is co-operation between all agencies responsible for children and young people, since it is only by improving communication and understanding that the interests of children can best be served. A ‘sub-plot’ to the afternoon will therefore be how to achieve better partnership working.
For a more in-depth look at the background and relevance of Every Child Matters, a double workshop under the heading ‘Enjoy and Achieve’ has been arranged - the synopsis for this two-part workshop below explains a little more about its contents.
All workshops are open to all staff who would like to attend. Please note that workshops will be repeated after the break.
THERE MAY BE A CHARGE of £50 TO APPLICANTS WHO ARE DEEMED NOT BE WORKING IN NEWCASTLE. PLEASE CONTACT JILL JORDAN.

This workshop aims to introduce a way of thinking about emotional distresswhich can help us to understand common mental health problems, adjustments to major life events, and the psychological aspects of physical health problems. The content is based upon Cognitive Behavious Therapy (CBT), a psychological therapy which has been shown to be a very effective way of helping people understand and change a whole range of commonly occurring difficulties. By the end of the day, participants should: feel more able to make sense of a range of presenting problems relevant to their work; be more confident in their ability to elicit relevant information; be able to assess a difficulty using a general CBT framework; have developed simple techniques to increase motivation and initiate change. There will be an opportunity to sign up and attend regular profession-specific consultation sessions which will help consolodate the information covered and provide an opportunity to discuss cases and develop skills within a supportive environment.
