📢 Protected Learning Time (PLT) Scheme at Havergal Surgery
At Havergal Surgery, we are committed to continuous learning and improvement to provide the best possible care for our patients. As part of this commitment, we participate in the Protected Learning Time (PLT) Scheme, which allows our team to focus on professional development and enhancing the quality of our services.
PLT provides dedicated time for our General Practice team – including GPs, practice nurses, healthcare assistants, admin/reception staff, and allied health professionals – to address their learning needs, strengthen teamwork, and focus on delivering better care.
During these sessions, the team explores key areas such as patient and community engagement, wellbeing support, equality, diversity and inclusion, CQC discussions, change management, incident reporting, patient safety, leadership and development, environmentally sustainable general practice, primary care MDT working, and digital skills development.
We encourage you to stay connected with our PLT activities and share your feedback or suggestions to help us improve. Visit Havergal Surgery regularly for updates on the PLT scheme and opportunities to get involved.
Thank you for supporting us as we work towards creating a healthier, more inclusive, and sustainable community.
