How does an away day for a surgery work?
Before the day we will have a TEAMs meeting to discuss your objectives from the day, so that the day can be tailored especially for your surgery. Format: There are three elements to your away day and you decide the balance of the day by the time you allocate to each part Discovering Potential activity – An enjoyable session that provides an opportunity to challenge and overcome self limiting beliefs Have Your Say – see below Facing Challenges activity – An action packed fun session that examines how approach and attitude impacts upon performance and how working...
Read MoreHow much does an away day for a surgery cost?
When working with GP surgeries numbers tend to be less than thirty which of course impacts upon what you will be charged. Another know factor is how an away day for a surgery works. Most of the design work has already been done and it therefore easier to tailor your away day around this proven format used for the last twelve years. We are committed to working within the NHS and have developed a strategy that means a set number of days a year can be allocated at a very special rate for surgeries. It is also very important for you to know we are transparent in our dealings with all our...
Read MoreSurgery Away Days – a retrospective on 2022
This was a year of change and two projects illustrate just how much the landscape had altered throughout the year. In March 2022 we delivered an afternoon away day for a group of thirty nine trainee doctors. This was a project that had scheduled for December 2021 but had had to be back to March due to the Coronavirus restrictions. The afternoon was mainly in our usual format, starting with our “Discovering Potential” art based session which gives people the opportunity to explore self limiting beliefs. This being the first time people on the course had met face to face due to the...
Read MoreMotivational team building for GP surgeries after lock down
Whilst the government has announced there will be changes within the NHS and no doubt these will have an impact upon GP surgeries, I should imagine there are more pressing issues for surgeries to address immediately after lock down. Practice Managers will want to review this whole period and assess what will be required in the “new normal” and want answers to questions such as:- • As a surgery how well did we cope? What could we have improved upon? • Of the many changes to our working practices what would we like to keep, perhaps tweak or indeed discard altogether? • How...
Read MoreAway Days for GP surgeries after the Covid 19 pandemic
Following the Covid 19 pandemic we believe that GP surgeries now more than ever need to take time out of their busy schedule to review what has happened and how this will impact upon the way forward for their Practice. In our unique “Have Your Say” session the whole team (Clinical Administrative and Reception) are placed in different teams throughout the day and their opinions/views asked for. Accordingly we have adapted our questions to reflect this new changed environment. As a surgery how well did we cope? What could we have improved upon? What did you find the most difficult thing to...
Read MoreHow can we stay positive during the Covid 19 lock down?
As you can imagine there aren’t very many good scenarios around at the moment so this is a valid issue to address. To take my own situation as an example. One of the first challenges for me, was that by the second week of March all of my work for March April and May was postponed. This situation was made worse, because as a director in my own company and no longer receiving a salary (I am over 65 and so receive my state pension) I am unable to benefit from any of the government’s schemes which means I am having to finance this period of business inactivity by using savings, for...
