Further to feedback from last year's Pinnacle workforce survey requesting more education and learning opportunities, we've launched a new lunchtime learnings programme for practice staff across the network.
We hope these sessions will also help to address another theme that came through in the workforce survey, around difficulties with access, time and affordability for practice staff to attend professional development.
The lunchtime learnings are held fortnightly as online meetings from 12:00-12:30pm, and cover a range of relevant topics and provide chance to connect with colleagues.
Showcasing inter-professional collaboration, the sessions will feature presenters from various work areas. Recordings of each session will be available on our resource page allowing you to catch up or revisit key points at your own pace.
Please tune in (Zoom link posted below). If you have any questions, please email Leanne Ryan (details below).
Topic ideas are welcome and if you'd like to present on something, please let Leanne know (details below).
