• Recognising and managing poor control

Trainer 

Beverley Bostock RGN, BSc, MSc, Nurse Practitioner & Clinical Lead, Education for Health, Warwick

Bev has an enviable mix of theory and practice when it comes to her role as both health care professional and clinical lecturer. She is a nurse practitioner/ prescriber working in a rural practice in the Cotswolds and also works as a clinical lecturer at Education for Health, where she is the clinical lead for COPD, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, stroke, hypertension and smoking cessation. She is a visiting lecturer on the MSc in preventive cardiology at Imperial College London.

Bev writes extensively for the nursing press and sits on several editorial boards. She has a keen interest in the patients’ experience of health care and her dissertation for her MSc examined the concept of what patients themselves want from a consultation, comparing this to the way in which health care is currently delivered in general practice.

Please note this session will NOT be recorded 

Subsidised Booking Options

Wessex LMCs hold a number of funds for different organisations, specifically for training purposes.  By using these funds, many of our 'members' are able to access training without direct recourse to Practice Funds.  It is important that you select the appropriate funding option in the booking process, so that we can assign your booking to the correct funding stream, and here is some guidance to help you decide.

All GPs and Members of Staff working within GP Practices in the Wessex LMCs' catchment area 

Please use this option if you are working in a Practice in the Wessex LMC catchment area and do not fit into one of the other options on offer.  This option may, or may not, have a cost attached.

BaNES Staff 

Bath & North East Somerset (BaNES) Practices have given Wessex LMCs some of their training budget, to be used for their staff (not GPs) only.  To access this funding you must be working in a Practice in Bath or North East Somerset and not be a GP. 

BSW Staff - Clinical 

We are delighted that, thanks in part to the BSW (BaNES, Swindon & Wiltshire) Training Hub, and part the NHSE Investment in Continual Professional Development, certain eligible roles such as Nurses and Allied Health Professionals, working in Swindon and Wiltshire Practices, are able to attend this course fully funded.  Please see the full list of Included and Excluded staff in the table below.   Please do not use this option if: 1) You are in a role 'Excluded from the Scheme' (see table below)  2) You are a GP.  3) You work in any role (except GP), in Bath or North East Somerset please use the 'BaNES Staff' option instead. 

You can see more information about the scheme by clicking on this link: BSW Eligible Staff @ August 2022 

Non Members 

Please use this option if you are not working in a Practice in the Wessex LMCs catchment area. 

NB: Unfortunately, some of your colleagues have previously booked places and not attended, preventing others from doing so.  It must be stressed that the above options are not ‘FREE’ they are funded from NHS monies, all of which must be accounted for.  If, therefore, you select one of these subsidised options, and do not attend, or fail to cancel more than 2 weeks in advance, you will be charged the full member delegate fee.  To cancel your booking please email: Lead@wessexlmcs.org.uk at least 14 days before the event date.
