Please below for: Return to top Expressions of Interest for GP Role in Community Headache Pathway: Oxfordshire CCG has worked with Oxford University Hospitals Foundation Trust on a new pathway for patients with primary headache that are referred into secondary care. As part of this pathway, a role for an upskilled GP is required to be able to see patients triaged by a headache consultant as appropriate to be seen in the community (usually, the diagnosis and management of primary headache disorders such as migraine). There will be one weekly clinic (one session per week) initially, with additional clinics due to open in other localities in line with demand. The headache consultant will provide ongoing support for the community clinic, and will be available for telephone debrief/discussion after each clinic as well as sharing a clinic periodically. A small budget is available to support on-going training and professional development needs for the role. The role will be available for application via NHS jobs in the coming weeks. Please register your interest and forward any questions to Paul Kettle Return to top Diabetes Structured Education Data Recording Guidance: The National Diabetes Audit team, Diabetes UK, NHS England’s Diabetes Team and Clinical Networks have come together to coordinate a national project to improve data coding and recording of attendance at diabetes structured education. They have developed the attached standard approach to data coding and recording of diabetes structured education to be implemented across the country and Oxfordshire CCG supports this move to standardised coding and recording. Improving the data capture of attendance at diabetes structured education will mean more accurate and robust data, which can be used to: measure programme effectiveness support planning and improvement activity monitor how many patients are meeting NICE clinical guideline standards identify localities where attendance is particularly low/high link to long term outcomes support the commissioning of adequate capacity For further queries about the material please email .
