If you have previously completed mentorship training, you are not required to e-learning in advice, but it could be considered useful. The following statement from NHSE/I primary care team will help provide clarity around any queries from GPNs regarding indemnity cover for flu clinics taking place outside of the general practice setting. Indemnity The Clinical Negligence Scheme for General Practice (CNSGP) provides clinical negligence indemnity cover for all general practice staff (including General Practice Nurses (GPNs)) undertaking NHS primary medical services functions under a contract e.g. GMS, PMS and AMPS. This includes Directed Enhanced Services (DESs) such as flu vaccinations which are deemed part of a practice’s primary medical contract for the purposes of cover under CNSGP. This indemnity cover extends to the provision of such primary medical services functions, regardless of the location from where a service / function might be provided or administered to a patient. This could include the provision of a flu vaccination ‘clinic’ for its registered patients at a neutral location off site from the GP practice, for example in a church or school hall. Karen Storey RN, MSc, QN Primary Care Nursing Lead NHS England & NHS Improvement Please find attached the link to immunisation guidance published by RCN relating to COVID Coronavirus has changed many things, and cervical screening is one of them. If you are due a test, or have had a test cancelled, you might be wondering what is happening at the moment. Whether it’s your first or your last test, Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust wants to help you understand changes to cervical screening as a result of coronavirus, from booking appointments, to what will happen if you go, all the way to understanding your results. Cervical screening remains the best protection against cervical cancer, a disease which sadly takes two lives every day, so it’s a really important test.

This is of concern because this patient group is already vulnerable and is likely to experience more severe consequences and even death should they contract the influenza virus. Furthermore, this cohort has an agreed care pathway so the offer of a ‘flu vaccination should be an integral part of that pathway. NHSE&I London has therefore identified this group as a priority area and require CCGs to support a greater uptake of the ‘flu vaccination. In preparation for this flu season, NHSE&I have collated a set of resources to enable CCGs to reach out to under 65s at risk patients: Get Your Flu Jab – This year, the WHO delayed its recommendation on one of the strains of the virus by a period of four weeks. We understand from manufacturers that the delayed WHO recommendation on vaccine strain has had an impact on their vaccine supply. Sanofi Pasteur have indicated they plan to phase some of the deliveries of the inactivated Quadrivalent influenza vaccines (QIV) for those at risk and under 65 years, with some vaccines being delivered by the end of November ahead of when the flu season usually starts. We are therefore encouraging all primary care providers who have ordered the QIV vaccine to contact their relevant manufacturer to confirm delivery dates and inform scheduling of appointments. This will enable providers to plan effectively for the forthcoming season. Please find attached the full letter from Public Health England in relation to the Influenza Vaccine for the under 65s. If you have any queries in relation to this information please contact us directly at england.londonimms@nhs.net. PHE South London Health Protection Team, phe.slhpt@nhs.net; slhpt.oncall@phe.gov.uk Phone: 0344 326 2052 Below are some useful links too: “The eRedbook is the digital version of the paper red book given to parents when a baby is born. At present it is an additional offer to the paper red book but in time it will replace it for those who want a digital record. By the end of 2019 eRedbook will be offered to all parents giving birth in London.” They have also launched a Facebook Page. They will be sharing all their resources, progress and future events on this page. They are also hoping that this page can be used by Practice Nurses and other HCPs in South West London who share an interest in primary care nurses managing cancer as a long term condition and have an interest in supporting the visibility of primary care nurses within the cancer workforce to connect and share ideas, events etc. Their first podcast episode: ‘Managing Cancer as a Long-Term Condition: What does Good Practice Look Like?’ This episode explains how a practice nurse in Sutton, with the support of her Macmillan GP, took on the lead role of managing cancer as a long-term condition in her practice, and the tools they use to ensure both the safety of patients living with cancer and the delivery of truly personalised care. We also discuss the possibilities for the future and the opportunities that Primary Care Networks may bring. Further episodes from a community nursing perspective and from the patients’ perspectives will follow shortly. Disclaimer: some sections of audio may not be very clear due to a mishap with a fridge. This has been a learning curve for Macmillan, and future episodes will be much better quality. You can find a transcript for this episode here. You are invited follow their channel, join their Facebook page and share widely. If you would like any further information or would like to explore joint working with the project please do contact Macmillan, Macnursingproject@swlondon.nhs.uk. “The value of cancer care reviews and the role that nurses play in delivering them” includes messages from primary care health care professionals in SWL and patient partners to help us understand the importance of supporting patients living with and beyond cancer following discharge from secondary care.

The RCN is now extending its indemnity scheme to cover this gap. This means both employed and self-employed RCN members who are providing any paid-for travel vaccinations from GP practices not included in CNSGP in England and GMPI in Wales will be covered by the RCN indemnity scheme. Further details of the RCN scheme are available here: https://www.rcn.org.uk/get-help/indemnity-scheme Travel Health update blog from JC RE: Indemnity Insurance PGDs We direct all GP Practices and community Pharmacies ( Flu) to the London website. Although the people who create the PGDs are generally the same ( NHSE London Region for national use) each NHSE Regional has to authorize the PGDs. For example if you look at Men B PGD page 4 on the London site and the South West site the governance signatories are different. In addition there are differences in what London or other regions may commission and therefore there is a risk of using the wrong PGD. The links to the London PGDs normally go direct to the GP Practices and I also send the link to practices in Wandsworth and all other London CCG Chief Pharmacists. My advice is that only the London link should be used which has the sign of by the London team who hold the contracts for London GP Practices.

Based on available evidence, the aTIV vaccine is more effective and highly cost effective in this age group compared with the non-adjuvanted (TIV) vaccines. Quadrivalent vaccine (QIV) is advised to be the best option for the 18-65s at risk group. A large number of GP practices in London do not have enough aTIV for their over 65s practice populations. NHSE (London) public health commissioning team advise the following steps to be taken to ensure that the over 65s population are adequately protected this winter: Community pharmacies vaccinating patients with Influenza vaccine must notify the patient’s GP Practice using the form as outlined in the Service specification: Community pharmacy seasonal influenza vaccination advanced service.

In April, a new state-backed indemnity scheme for general practice (GP) staff was introduced in England. The Clinical Negligence Scheme for General Practice (CNSGP) is operated by NHS Resolution. It automatically provides cover to nursing staff working in NHS GP services. It includes self-employed workers and covers all clinical negligence claims that arise from an act (or omission to act) on the part of someone providing a GP service that is NHS-funded in England. In Wales, a similar scheme, General Medical Practice Indemnity (GMPI), was introduced at the same time. Both schemes include travel vaccinations given in GP surgeries except for where vaccinations are paid for by the patient.

Message from Nick Bevon:

The RCN recognises that nursing teams are key to the safe and effective administration of large numbers of vaccinations to those who need them. The overriding principle is: health care professionals involved in the prescribing or administration of vaccines must be suitably competent and have the knowledge as well as the skills to ensure patient safety, and public trust in immunisation is maintained. In some clinical areas, it is likely that NAs will be involved in the delivery of the national immunisation programme.
RCN guidance 007 441
The RCN recognises that nursing teams are key to the safe and effective administration of large numbers of vaccinations to those who need them. This guidance has been developed as a resource and framework for health care support workers who undertake vaccinations as part of their role.
