Due to
Linden’s background in Practice Management, we specialise in
helping GPs and Practice Managers get their Health & Safety
sorted. In fact, it was whilst
managing a busy 7-partner GP Practice in 1996 that Linden came
to change career into Health & Safety.
She really does understand how difficult it is to find
time to ensure compliance whilst running a busy Practice.
By utilising Linden and her team’s unique knowledge and
expertise of General Practice - surgeries don’t have to reinvent
the wheel!

Some surgeries decide to buy the HEALTH
& SAFETY PACK with its’ template policies and protocols designed
specifically for General Practice. Others take advantage of the
FAST TRACK PACK, where the customisation is done for them or
prefer Practice-based coaching with the advantage of having
uninterrupted, dedicated time.
Often, however, they start by attending training sessions
arranged by Practice Manager Groups’,
LMCs, PCTs and Consortia like Surgery Network for Practices.
Group
discounts or additional services are available as for members of
First Practice Management
- the first national forum exclusively for Practice
Managers.

“For a long time I had realised the
importance of Health & Safety to the surgery but always managed
to keep it on a back burner.
It was immensely daunting; like a
dark, heavy cloud sitting on my shoulders.
Thanks to you, that burden (and
anguish at not doing it) has now been lifted, what a tremendous
relief.
The fact that you are an
ex-Practice Manager is wonderful!
You completely understand how
Practices operate and the everyday challenges faced by the
staff.
Your considerable experience of
working with other PCTs only added to my confidence in your
ability to put me on the road to compliance.”

“I would urge other practices to use this Pack and work with you
in dealing with their Health & Safety issues.
As a direct result of working through it, I am more
confident about our practice meeting its responsibilities under
Health & Safety law.
Best of all, none of what needs to be done is as daunting as I
thought before our session yesterday!” |

“It is clear that Health & Safety is a
complex area that can be quite intimidating to tackle without
specialised help.
Your consultative approach together
with the knowledge that you have “lived the life" of a Practice
Manager, were key factors in deciding to do our training with
you. Being able to
access such a wealth of knowledge and be guided through
developing our own Policies has not only saved us a significant
amount of time and money, but has also given the team the
confidence and knowledge to deal with issues in the future.
I would not hesitate to recommend your services to other
practices who are looking to ensure they have full compliance
with Health & Safety legislation.” |

“Thank you for the excellent workshop
which we all feel has transformed the attitudes of the entire
Practice Managers Group.
All of us can now report back to
our Partners knowing not just what has to be done and how but –
more importantly – the why to get them on board.
Your Pack is an excellent product which has transformed
the Health & Safety at our surgery.” |

“I just had to say how much I appreciated your no nonsense
practical approach to tackling health and safety.
Your pack has given me the ability to tackle this very
necessary task and because it was written specifically for
General Practice use, it was absolutely relevant and to the
point. Due to the design
of the pack, I am able to systematically work through the whole
process, which is important to me due to the time restraints of
the workload in General Practice.
I am indebted to you for this very valuable tool, as it
will make my life, and that of the other Practice Managers in
Wiltshire much easier.” |

“It is my job as Practice Manager to manage the Health & Safety
of the surgery. I do
this in conjunction with the Senior Nurse.
Neither of us had received any training for this and
quite frankly we were terrified of the prospect and the
responsibility we were taking on.
Linden supplied us with her very distinctive black &
yellow folders containing all the necessary paperwork we would
need. The day was very helpful and we have now set up our own
protocols and policies.
I would recommend Linden’s services to anyone who has to take on
this rather onerous task.
Her help is invaluable.” |

“I would just like to say thank you for taking the hassle out of
Health & Safety for our practice.
Your pack and coaching gave me the kick start I needed to
get moving on H&S – something as you know was not my favourite
subject! I am pleased to
say that thanks to your help, we now have up to date policies
and a useable folder.
I am sure you will be a useful source for many other practices
and I highly recommend your services to them.” |

“I was never interested in health and safety but having attended
a ‘Your Policy Document Sorted!’ workshop you inspired me with
your enthusiasm. I came
as a reluctant participant but I left raring to go.
The Health & Safety Pack is well done.
The packaging is brilliant and no one can fail to find
it. I am now well on the
way to bringing our surgery right up to date." |
