Grab your trainers, your dog lead, or a cuppa and join us for some free CPD as we have another relaxed round up of recent Red Whale primary care Pearls of wisdom. In the first of two episodes this month, Ali and Nik discuss:
- Neurodiversity in the workforce. We’ve been teaching about autism, ADHD and the umbrella approach to neurodiversity on our digital and face to face courses. You told us that you found this useful and empowering, in supporting patients and colleagues. So, we thought we’d share our article on supporting a neurodiverse workforce – this might provide tips we can apply to ourselves, to a trainee or a colleague.
- Spotting and supporting those with Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease is increasing in prevalence as our population ages. Our role in primary care is to spot it early and refer and then, alongside our secondary care colleagues, to support people living with the condition with potentially complex symptoms and drug regimens.
Listen as soon as you can to ensure you have full access to all the free resources.
The rest of the Pearls from April will be covered next week along with a new best intentions story to put a smile on your face.
