Runner Up < Back Peterloo Medical Centre Excellence in Reception Award Runner Up The reception team at Peterloo Medical Centre are a team of absolute super stars – They have been through a lot in the last 12 months, including lots of significant practice changes e.g. using a brand new appointment system and educating patients on how to use it, along with PATCHS, NHS App promotion and all its tweaks and changes, plus learning a brand new telephone system. In the midst of all that we lost a few staff members out of the team so at some points were extremely short staffed and yet the team banded together and soldiered on covering shortages between them, and just supporting each other throughout. every single one of them deserve this award because Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link

fe9f5954-55fc-430f-bd6d-7aa75ccb2a0d < Back Occupational Therapist Working alongside GPs to meet patients' healthcare needs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyMRdpCTxrc Occupational therapists (OTs) support people of all ages with problems resulting from physical, mental, social, or development difficulties. OTs provide interventions that help people find ways to continue with everyday activities that are important to them. This could involve learning new ways to do things or making changes to their environment to make things easier. As patients’ needs are so varied, OTs help GPs to support patients who are frail, with complex needs, live with chronic physical or mental health conditions, manage anxiety or depression, require advice to return or remain in work and need rehabilitation so they can continue with previous occupations (activities of daily living). www.healthcareers.nhs.uk Occupational therapist Entry requirements To become an occupational therapist, you’ll need a degree in occupational therapy, which usually takes three years full time or up to six years part time. In postgraduate studies, it’s possible to gain a Masters degree in one to two years. Once you’ve successfully completed your degree, you’ll need to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) before you can start practising. The other option is to apply for an apprenticeship degree. Previous Next

Primary Care Academy Team < Back Dr Mary Cheshire Primary Care Academy Team Clinical Fellow I started my career in the NHS when I was 15 years old as a Medical Personal Assistant at The Royal Oldham Hospital. After working for a couple of years, I went back to study my A'Levels and then to The University of Leeds, eventually qualifying as a Solicitor with the Government Legal Service (GLS) working for the Department of Work and Pensions and The Department of Health. I enjoyed my role at the GLS however, I couldn't shake off my life-long ambition to become a doctor so I went back to University to study Medicine at Manchester Medical School. It was a fantastic experience! After graduating I went on to complete my training in local hospitals and General Practices (GP) while studying for the GP exams and also having a couple of kids in relatively quick succession! I am now a newly qualified GP doing two varied roles, for part of the week I am a regular (if there is such a thing) GP, seeing patients at the Dawes Family Practice in Rochdale. For the other part of the week, I am working in Medical Education with Primary Care Academy and also working with the Greater Manchester Training Hub to guide the GP Fellowship.

692472ae-8521-4a2f-876c-0c73e25f1bbf < Back Health and Wellbeing Coach Working alongside GPs to meet patients' healthcare needs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=godAfhj6lic Health and Wellbeing Coaches (HWBCs) will predominately use health coaching skills to support people with lower levels of patient activation to develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to become active participants in their care so that they can reach their self-identified health and wellbeing goals. They may also provide access to self-management education, peer support and social prescribing. HWBCs will use a non-judgemental approach that supports the person to self-identify existing issues and encourages proactive prevention of new and existing illnesses. This approach is based on using strong communication and negotiation skills, supports personal choice and positive risk-taking, addresses potential consequences, and ensures people understand the accountability of their own decisions based on what matters to the person. They will work alongside people to coach and motivate them through multiple sessions, supporting them to self-identify their needs, set goals, and help them to implement their personalised health and care plan. https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/health-coaching-summary-guide-and-technical-annexes/ Previous Next

de7c8de9-3c64-42d2-be42-d0e48d9f6463 < Back Social Prescriber Working alongside GPs to meet patients' healthcare needs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QES76Tw1Fx8 Social prescribing enables all primary care staff and local agencies to refer people to a link worker. Link workers give people time and focus on what matters to the person as identified through shared decision-making or personalised care and support planning. They connect people to community groups and agencies for practical and emotional support. They work within multidisciplinary teams and collaborate with local partners to support community groups to be accessible and sustainable and help people start new groups. Social prescribing complements other approaches such as ‘active signposting’. Link workers typically support people on average over 6-12 contacts (including phone calls, meetings and home visits) with a typical caseload of 200-250 people per year, depending on the complexity of people’s needs and the maturity of the social prescribing scheme.
