Dear colleagues,
In November 2023, BMJ Quality and safety published a research paper analysing patient safety in remote primary care consultations. The research conducted by an Oxford University research team, utilised data from NHS bodies, including NHS Resolution, NHS England and the Health Safety Science Investigation Bureau (HSSIB), to triangulate patient outcomes and identify where many of the risks lie in the remote delivery of primary care services.
The paper provides clear practical steps for clinicians, organisations and patients to make remote consultations in primary care even safer.
On 27 March 2024 at 12:30-14:00, NHS Resolution will be hosting a free virtual forum where you can join us to hear about the findings, directly from the lead researcher and lead reviewer , Dr Rebecca Payne and Professor Trisha Greenhalgh.
This event is likely to be of interest to all clinical and non-clinical primary care professionals involved in front-line patient care and those who are involved in commissioning and setting up remote consultations.
Therefore, please feel free to share this email and flyer with clinical, operational, legal, risk, patient safety and quality improvement colleagues at all levels within your networks.

The Primary Care Dermatology society (PCDS) was set up by GPs in 1994 to support dermatology education in primary care and redress the gap which saw dermatology account for 30% of GP consultations but not an extensive part of medical education. The PCDS website and society has grown and is recognised to provide comprehensive guidance, education events, tools, patient information leaflets and resources to its 4,000 GP and primary care health professional members. NHS Resolution has completed a review of dermatology claims within the last 5 years to examine the themes and trends within primary care.
On 22 November 2023, from 12:30-2pm, NHS Resolution and PCDS are hosting a free virtual forum to share the highlights from our analysis of dermatology claims, and discuss the risks, opportunities and challenges affecting lesion and medical dermatology management in primary care.
We will be joined by Dr Tim Cunliffe (PCDS) and Majid Hassan (Capsticks) alongside Michelle Stafford (NHS Resolution).

Two days (same day on consecutive weeks) of engagingly presented material and discussions to us get a whole new perspective on those more complex patients, and a practical set of tools to help you respond more effectively to them.
Colleagues from Devon and Cornwall who attending in February 2020 said they would describe the course as
"Enjoyable, full of information, fun, detailed"
"A breath of fresh air! An evidenced based look at what we can do for our patients without reaching for the prescription pad."
"An eye-opening course succinctly combining "proper science" and medicine with up to date understanding of lifestyle factors on our bodys' essential functions. It will have a huge impact on how you view your own health priorities as well as help focus approach to multimorbid patients in daily practice"
This was feedback from a recent meeting run using the same innovative Zoom format "An example of how good Zoom teaching can be".
