Sexual Orientation Monitoring Survey


Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual (LGB) patients can face serious health inequalities. Sexual Orientation Monitoring (the collection of data on patient sexuality with patient consent) helps the NHS understand the health challenges and experiences of LGB people so the NHS can develop plans to improve care for LGB patients. NHS England and NHS Improvement is conducting a survey to understand how the different parts of the NHS are collecting this data. The results will help the NHS sensibly and sensitively collect this data. You can respond as an organisation or individually. Responses can be anonymised. Surveys should be completed by 27/11/19.




Nurses new to general practice? 
Employed with your practice less than 12 months?

If so, you can access a fully funded place on the Fundamentals of Nursing course with University of Essex.

Please contact Aileen Stirling for more information for NEE staff or PACT for Suffolk staff

Expansion of training practices and clinical trainers – Funding available
 
In light of the new roles now appearing in Primary Care and the need to increase the numbers of GP’s it has been acknowledged that more training practices and clinical trainers will be required to provide the right level of support to these new roles in addition to enabling an increase to the annual intake of GP Trainees.
 
The STP has been given a pot of money to support practices to become approved training practices and to support individual clinicians who would like to attend the training required to become a clinical trainer.
 
I would therefore like to invite you to submit expressions of interest either personally or as a practice by providing the below information by email to: julie.a.baran@suffolk.nhs.uk by close of business on the 15th November 2019.

More details here
International Recruitment to posts and Tier 2 Visa Sponsorship
Funding available until end of January 2020.
 
The local International GP Recruitment (IGPR) Team have been working with practices across the STP over the last 9 months to support practices through the process to obtain Tier 2 sponsorship which in turn enables recruitment of non EEA nationals either through recruiting qualifying GP Registrars or through general vacancy advertisements for clinical roles.
 
NHSE have now advised that the reimbursement of the sponsorship practice application costs will only be available for applications made prior to the end of January 2020.
 
We would therefore like to encourage all practices across the STP to take advantage of this offer before it ends as the sponsorship licence lasts for up to 4 years so whilst it may not be required immediately it might be of use in the future.
