What are placements? Primary Care Academy find suitable placement opportunities for students who want to gain experience in or are seeking a career in primary and community care. Placements form a valuable part of their learning experience. It enables students to gain real-life skills and knowledge that will support their course objectives and career development. Placements vary in length depending on individual course requirements. HMRPCA works in partnership with Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) across the region and Greater Manchester Training Hub to support student placements across a range of courses. As well as looking at innovative ways to promote primary care as a career destination What are place-based tariffs/placement tariffs? Some student placements that are hosted by a GP Practice, or other community-based organisation, comes with a placement tariff. The hosting organisation is known as the placement provider. The tariff is a payment of money that is paid to the placement provider. It is set by NHSE to acknowledge the staff time taken to supervise and train the student. Currently this can take over 12 months to be paid to placement providers. Become a learning environment? HMRPCA would like to encourage all GP Practices and social care homes in Heywood, Middleton & Rochdale to consider offering a student placement. We feel the local areas offer excellent examples of primary and community care provision. Offering a placement encourages students to remain in the county after graduation. This in turn supports local workforce planning.    If you are interested in becoming a placement provider, please: Email us here A member of the HMRPCA Team will get in contact with you regarding the next steps. 1 Become a Practice Supervisor and Practice Assessor?

League of Superheroes Award < Back Pennines PCN League of Superheroes Award Winner "This PCN is simply the best everyone works so hard. This is not only the board members but each Practice in the PCN. No matter what is thrown at us we always achieve and work towards the same goal. special mention goes to our Business Support Officer Alex who keeps us all on track" This team has gone from strength to strength, from the beginning with our Covid clinics held at the Littleborough Sports Centre to the teams current performance with working together to achieve the IIF targets. To have 6 practice managers working closely together is not easy. With weekly lunch time meetings supporting each other with day to day stuff and the targets we have to meet and also helping each other's wellbeing and mental health. The excellent admin support we get from Alex is amazing as she makes difficult tasks seem manageable by the processes she puts in place and helps lead the PCN through all the targets we have to work towards. Alex put together a cancer awareness day which was well attended with excellent feedback from patients and staff who attended. Working together across 6 practices each with their own identities and differing skill sets makes this tricky at times but the team always pulls together and even organized Reiki sessions for all the surgery staff to attend which had excellent feed back including improved sleep and lower blood pressures. This team has gone from strength to strength. Kelly Vines is the driving force behind this highly functioning team with her amazing organisation and motivational skills she brings out the best from all the practices knowing the strengths and weaknesses of her team and putting everyone to best use.

Runner Up < Back Pennine Surgery Reception Team Excellence in Reception Award Runner Up "I have worked across many surgeries and I have to say that the team at Pennine always go above and beyond. They never react to even the harshest of interactions when patients are unwell frustrated and angry and remain ever professional. They aim to help out where they can and often are able to sort out problems at source which are more social or administrative despite the patients' insistence on speaking the doctors about them. They guide and comfort and also have amazing clinical acumen for non clinicians - able to point out a regular patient who may look unwell , even in the local supermarket! and get them booked in. They help those who are frail and elderly to navigate a difficult system of bookings referrals results etc and they always look after us clinicians - they protect us so we can look after the unwell and take a lot of the brunt of the frustration themselves as well as keeping me fed and watered. I am super proud of our amazing reception team at Pennine. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link
