This is a morning event.

Times: 09:30 - 11:30

Suitable for:

Women on maternity leave and those returning to work in the first year post maternity leave.

Course summary:

We will be using Zoom and smaller groups in breakout rooms to explore:

• How pregnancy and maternity leave have affected us and may affect our return to work
• Managing the 4 pillars of wellbeing in the postnatal and return to work period
• Practical suggestions for making your return to work easier

Course Format:

The course will be run via zoom – a joining link will be shared with you a few days before the event. We provide interactive sessions with between 3 and 12 delegates allowing opportunity for small group discussions. Please therefore ensure you can log in using your own device with sound and video.

Both of our facilitators are mums with young children who have recently gone through returning to general practice post maternity leave. The intention is to make these sessions mum and small person friendly. If you need to feed your child or settle them during the session please feel free to turn your video and sound off at any time to do this.

Cost:

The course is fully funded for West Yorkshire practice staff (within West Yorkshire ICB) only, however, we do offer you the opportunity to donate £10.00 per delegate to the Cameron Fund. The booking process allows you to make a donation or not.

North Yorkshire & Humber practice staff will now be required to pay a course fee which has been subsidised by GPMplus. These places are limited and are only eligible to be booked by staff working in an NHS practice, within Humber and North Yorkshire ICB

We now welcome staff from practices outside West and North Yorkshire and Humberside, as well as dentists, pharmacists and optometrists, anywhere within the UK. A course fee is applicable - please see below.

Cancellations:

Refunds - all bookings are non-refundable. If you provide at least 24 hour notice we can transfer the place to another staff member. If you provide at least 72 hours notice we can provide you with the course fee as a credit to use against future courses.

If you are West Yorkshire practice staff and are unable to attend, please consider whether your place can be used by a colleague. Late cancellations and DNAs are costly in terms of both finance and time – if you need to cancel please let us know at least 3 days before the course date.
