AfterCare Wellbeing Brochure

​

Following ‘The Fundamentals’ National AfterCARE Wellbeing Course last year, we will now be running ‘Building on The Fundamentals’ from May 2024. More information can be found in the attached brochure.

 

The wellbeing course is open to all colleagues across your ICS, particularly those who have participated in the CARE Programme.

 

To register, colleagues are asked to email the CARE team directly on care@napc.co.uk

 

Each session will be held over lunchtime, from 1-1:45pm, providing colleauges with time out ‘just for you’.

 

The course will offer colleagues a unique experience through supporting them from a personal perspective, with a focus on self-care, and wellbeing and resilience. It will give colleagues a personal understanding and the tools to support taking back control and thriving. It will also provide a mix of visual, auditory and storytelling learning methods where colleauges can sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey together.

 

As the CARE leads within your system, we kindly ask for your help to promote the course and to encourage participants to register. We will be sending email comms to participants within your system and will ensure you are on copy. If you require any further information or resources, please do not hesitate to ask.

New Process for Requesting a Levy Transfer within London

​

Did you know that if you’re not a levy-paying organisation or you pay the levy and have run out of funds you can receive a levy transfer? Transfer funds can pay for the costs of training and assessment. (This does not cover the salary or expenses of any apprentice).

 

London NHS England (NHSE) Apprenticeship Lead, Jennifer Stone, offers a free match-making service to broker apprenticeship levy transfer opportunities. Up to 50% of unspent levy funds can be transferred to other levy paying, or non-levy paying organisations. Transfers of levy funds can also be made to multiple organisations.


Employers who wish to receive a transfer must already have:

  • National Apprenticeship Service Account set up.

  • Know the specific apprenticeship standard

  • Have a start date and confirmed place with a Training provider/HEI

  • Have identified named apprentice(s)

 

Please complete this form if you would like to receive a levy transfer - London Apprenticeship Levy Transfer Expression of Interest (EOI) Form https://forms.office.com/e/x5bfD6PSxC

NHS App Update for Kingston Practices to add to their Websites (From SWL ICB to promote NHS App)

​

If you’re a patient at our practice, you can use the NHS App to access a range of NHS services on your smartphone, tablet or through the NHS website. The NHS app is owned and run by the NHS, making it a safe and simple way to manage your healthcare.

 

The NHS app doesn’t replace existing services and you can still contact us in the usual ways. But, once you have verified your identity in the app, you will have access to a growing range of health services and information including the ability to:

 

•            order repeat prescriptions

•            access NHS 111 online

•            find NHS services (such as pharmacies and dentists)

•            view your health records

•            book appointments

•            and much more…
