It was just what the doctor ordered, enabling our team to rise to the challenge of delivering our SignpostingHealth programme to 88 practices (to date) across Nottingham and Leeds. The high ratings and positive feedback received by our trainers is testament to both the skills of our team and to the quality of Phil’s training.”

Dickson Training Ltd are very proud to share this case study where we were invited to provide bespoke Train the Trainer course to 2 x Cohorts of the NCGPA in Nottingham

This is an innovative federation of GP clinics and Doctors providing the local people with General Practitioner care and services to ensure there is greater flexibility and have the budgetary advantages of economies of scale when providing medical support in the area.

The NHS has launched a key programme for training the Receptionists and support staff in order to increase the GP’s capacity and availability to support more patients and provide better quality time to them..

It’s called the ‘Active Sign Posting’ Programme

There are six Learning in Action workshops, where groups are introduced to various tools and techniques from quality improvement. The Plan, Do, Study, Act cycle, which provides a structured approached to improvement, enabling their respective practices to undertake a number of cycles to test the following.

• How will patients respond to being directed away from traditional face-to-face GP appointments?
• The level of support from the Patient Participation Group (PPG) and staff of active signposting at the engagement phase.
• Will patients object to non-clinical staff asking active signposting questions?
• Will reception staff accurately elicit details from patients and accurately record them in the reason for appointment?

During the study phase of the cycles the practice may find that they need to take the following actions to effectively implement active signposting.

• Significantly engage with patient groups, staff groups and GPs to develop shared aims and objectives of signposting.
• Develop a training and support package for practice staff with regular team review meetings.
• Ensure training is current.

The NCGPA teams have engaged in an Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM) accredited Train the Trainer course delivered by Phil Dickson from Dickson Training Ltd.

This was to provide the NCGPA teams with the necessary skills and increased confidence to facilitate and train the various team members throughout the General Practices’ Alliance centers on the NHS ‘Active Sign Posting’ programmes

The two ILM Train the Trainer courses were delivered at the NCGPA’s new facilities in the center of Nottingham.

These courses are very practical and encourage each ‘Trainee’ to apply their skills, receive supportive feedback and ensure it is really good fun.

Having an energized approach to Train the Trainer is essential to be motivational and engage people at all levels.

The ILM recognition ensures that the quality of the Train the Trainer courses are of the highest standard and it requires each delegate to demonstrate that they have applied the learning by practical demonstration on how to deliver effective and successful workshops.

This entails the design of sessions, the preparation and ensuring interaction engages with participants to ensure the learning is embedded for application in the work-place. Each person who attends and participates in the ILM Train the Trainer course are awarded the ILM Train the Trainer Certificate

NCGPA have started rolling these Programmes out with a lot of success and they are posting updates on Social Media. Here is their LinkedIn post - Click Here for the Full Article
