Calling all health care support workers

We are exploring the possibility of creating a health care support worker (HCSW) forum and would like to gauge the views of any health care support workers in practice teams across London.

We currently run very popular forums for practice managers and practice nurses where members from across London come together for quarterly meetings as well as keeping in touch via a dedicated listserver. The forums are an opportunity to network with fellow professionals and learn from each other as well as discuss and share best practice and experiences and receive updates on policy and practice.

We would like to hear from HCSWs on whether a HCSW forum would be of benefit. Please contact Karen Piddington on Karen.Piddington@lmc.org.uk.
