Humber Generalist School Programme - Sept 2024

Shared on behalf of Humber Generalist School

Applications are open for the next cohort of the Humber Generalist School programme, which starts in September 2024. We’re now on Cohort 6 within the Humber and North Yorkshire ICB footprint and have trained almost 100 multiprofessional colleagues from primary, secondary and social care to date.

The programme is place-based, and delivered by NHSE for all health and social care professionals in primary, secondary and community care, including non-clinical staff, with the intention of improving generalist skills through modules such as systems working, population health, environmental sustainability, person centred care etc., and applied modules such as oral health and independence in aging. The programme is FREE, and lasts 12 months with an indicative time commitment of 4 hours per week, worked flexibly. Unfortunately, there is no backfill funding for staff. All modules have CPD accreditation with the RCP and there is the option for participants to undertake a PGCert using their learning from the programme.

Full details, including application forms, FAQs and video, are on our webpage.

All are welcome; doctors (qualified GPs, GP trainees and Foundation trainees), nurses, ACPs, PAs, ARRS roles, practice staff and system managers. We are already beginning to see a real change in attitudes and processes across the region as a result. For example, some of our primary care colleagues have done quality improvement work in green social prescribing, in staff wellbeing within primary care, and in supporting frail patients across a rural PCN. Feedback from the programme has been excellent.
