This is an afternoon event.

Times: 13:30 - 15:00

A unique insight into how gaining a real understanding of neurodiversity can benefit the whole of the workforce. 

Lucy Clement is a GP in Leeds who has been on her own personal discovery over the four years since realising she is neurodivergent. Lucy has confirmed diagnoses of ADHD, dyslexia and autism. She is passionate about raising awareness around neurodiversity and helping practices understand neurodivergent people, from both a strengths and challenges perspective. 

Danielle Hann is a GP in Bradford, who has become more and more interested in neurodiversity, especially within the general practice workforce, and how we can all support teams with a more inclusive culture. 

Please be aware that our courses have been designed with General Practice staff in mind, and they are delivered by facilitators with general practice backgrounds and experience. The Personal and Team resilience courses are transferable into other healthcare sectors, but please be aware that there may be specific references to General Practice scenarios. Our Systems resilience courses are not generally suitable for sectors outside of General Practice. Please contact us before booking if you have any queries about suitability.

Course format:

The course will be run via zoom – a joining link will be shared with you a few days before the event. We provide interactive sessions with between 3 and 12 delegates allowing opportunity for small group discussions. Please therefore ensure you can log in using your own device (rather than sharing devices with colleagues) with sound and video.

Cost:

The course is fully funded for West Yorkshire practice staff (within West Yorkshire ICB) only, however, we do offer you the opportunity to donate £10.00 per delegate to the Cameron Fund. The booking process allows you to make a donation or not.

North Yorkshire & Humber practice staff will now be required to pay a course fee which has been subsidised by GPMplus. These places are limited and are only eligible to be booked by staff working in an NHS practice, within Humber and North Yorkshire ICB

We now welcome staff from practices outside West and North Yorkshire and Humberside, as well as dentists, pharmacists and optometrists, anywhere within the UK. A course fee is applicable - please see below.

Cancellations:

Refunds - all bookings are non-refundable. If you provide at least 24 hour notice we can transfer the place to another staff member. If you provide at least 72 hours notice we can provide you with the course fee as a credit to use against future courses.

If you are West Yorkshire practice staff and are unable to attend, please consider whether your place can be used by a colleague. Late cancellations and DNAs are costly in terms of both finance and time – if you need to cancel please let us know at least 3 days before the course date.
