Creating Community Conversations – A new online learning programme for Primary Care | Primary care latest updates

This is an invitation to all primary care colleagues to take part in the new learning programme, Creating Community Conversations. The programme is open to anyone working in primary care and the limited spaces are fully funded by NHS England. Therefore, there are no costs for primary care colleagues to participate and you can choose how much of the programme you get involved in.

What is the programme?

‘Creating Community Conversations’ is an online learning programme that gives primary care colleagues the knowledge and practical resources to connect with and work alongside local people and communities. Registration is open to anybody working in any role in primary care who wants to help local people have their say in how services are designed and delivered. The modules, outlined below, follow a logical progression and can also stand-alone, meaning you can focus your valuable time on an area that is useful to you.

Three levels of participation per Creating Community Conversations modules:

Level 1: Join a Master class - 4 x 90 minute standalone webinars, 1 in each module, covering relevant topics from expert speakers (100 spaces available per Masterclass)

Level 2: Join an Exploration Session – Relating to each Masterclass, 1 in each module, to deepen learning and work through real solutions with peer support (16 places available per Session)

Level 3: Join a Coaching Session – For participants requiring further support, a one-to-one coaching session will be available to work towards specific solutions (very limited spaces available)

Why take part?

This programme will guide you towards meaningful, targeted conversations with people in your community, especially those who experience the poorest health outcomes. This can bring a great number of benefits for individuals and for primary care, including more equitable access to services, improved health outcomes, and better use of resources. This programme will also help you to fulfil your contractual requirements with confidence and with impact. 

NHS England are working with Co-create to give you practical support and guidance to create community conversations in your work. Their team of expert associates will deliver the learning programme and have extensive skills and experience in both community involvement and in working alongside primary care.

How can you get involved?

You can choose to dip into any of the Creating Community Conversations modules. Each module has three levels; you will start at level 1 and discuss with facilitators if you want to progress to the next level in that module or not.
