07e91a55-b6be-4880-b234-2b65478ab0ca < Back Care Coordinator Working alongside GPs to meet patients' healthcare needs. Care Coordinators play an important role within a PCN to proactively identify and work with people, including the frail/elderly and those with long-term conditions, to provide coordination and navigation of care and support across health and care services. Care Coordinators could potentially provide extra time, capacity, and expertise to support patients in preparing for or in following-up clinical conversations they have with primary care professionals. They will work closely with the GPs and other primary care professionals within the PCN to identify and manage a caseload of identified patients, making sure that appropriate support is made available to them and their carers, and ensuring that their changing needs are addressed. This is achieved by bringing together all the information about a person’s identified care and support needs and exploring options to meet these within single personalised care and support plan, based on what matters to the person. www.e-lfh.org.uk Person-Centred Approaches - elearning for healthcare Previous Next

13 Back St Edmund’s Church Now redundant as a place of worship, St Edmund’s Church is Grade I listed and an astounding piece of Victorian religious architecture, blending neo-Gothic with Masonic symbolism. It was commissioned by the industrialist and freemason Albert Hudson Royds and was designed, built and decorated to exceptionally high standards. The degree of Masonic symbolism at St Edmund’s is unheard of in UK churches, and is inescapable in fittings like the hammer-beam roof (embellished with lilies, water-lilies and pomegranates), the lectern, weathervane and in the stained glass windows. The Royds Chapel is a high point, featuring a window evoking Nehemiah and Ezra, and depicting the Masonic outer guard, the Tyler, holding the Tyler’s sword. You can also make out an image of Solomon’s Temple, and eagle-eyed observers will see Hudson Royd’s likeness in one of the master masons here. Previous Next

Many patients fall into high-risk categories such as those with diabetes, rheumatism, cerebral palsy, peripheral arterial disease and peripheral nerve damage. www.healthcareers.nhs.uk Podiatrist Entry requirements The most popular way into podiatry is through an approved degree course or a Masters degree in podiatry. It usually takes two to three years full time and over four years part-time. 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 a degree apprenticeship. Entry requirements for an undergraduate course are typically: five GCSEs (grades A-C), including language, maths and science. Previous Next
