Primary Care and Public Workforce Training

NHS Central London CCG, on behalf of the North West London Collaboration of CCGs is looking for a provider to design and deliver an effective front line staff training for the non-specialist workforce that may come into contact with people or carers with mental health needs. The CCGs need to ensure that their primary care workforce - GPs, practice nurses, health care assistants, and practice administrative staff are able to respond to the needs of their patients who have a mental health need as they access more of the help and support they need from their GP practice. To do this, the CCG are proposing that practice staff have access to training to identify and respond to mental health needs and to support the shift of care into primary care settings for people with both serious and long term and common mental health needs. This training should also ensure that staff have a good understanding of current services, and how these are accessed.

The training course aims are to:

A series of one-day workshop sessions are to be delivered across each of the eight North West London CCGs to train 15-20 multi-agency staff per workshop and a total of 360-400 staff. The programme is expected to be delivered within the financial year 2017-18 and the available funding is £40,000.
