star this property answer text <p>Initial training for call handlers within NHS 111 is an intensive training programme that spans 10 weeks in the case of call handlers, and 14 weeks in the case of clinicians. These programmes, and further information, incorporate several formal classroom-based training modules focusing on NHS Pathways use, distance learning materials, supervised practice supported by an Accredited Coach, consolidated practice and a ‘common learning programme’.</p><p> </p><p>Once call handlers and clinicians start practising independently they are then subject to on-going performance management and professional development. The terms of the NHS Pathways “Licence to Use” mandate that all staff should be audited on a monthly basis. This involves listening to ‘live’ or recorded calls which are audited using a competency based audit tool.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The Department has published extensive guidance on implementing the overseas visitor charging regulations. This guidance is for use by all frontline staff providing National Health Service funded services, as well as the providers and commissioners of those services. It is available at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-on-overseas-visitors-hospital-charging-regulations" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-on-overseas-visitors-hospital-charging-regulations</a></p><p>This guidance, most recently refreshed in December 2017, is clear that refugees (those granted asylum, humanitarian protection or temporary protection under the immigration rules), and their dependents, are exempt from charges for NHS-funded services. They are therefore eligible for free NHS care in the same way as someone who is ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom. This guidance also sets out that any individual who has made a formal application with the Home Office to be granted asylum, temporary protection or humanitarian protection which has not yet been determined is also exempt from charges, as are their dependants, as part of the application.</p><p> </p><p>Advice and guidance for healthcare practitioners on the health needs of migrant patients, including refugees, was also published by Public Health England on 8 January 2018 and is available at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/nhs-entitlements-migrant-health-guide" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/nhs-entitlements-migrant-health-guide</a></p>

star this property answer text <p>The Government is committed to supporting breastfeeding, as the health benefits are clear for mothers and their babies. We would still like to see more mothers breastfeeding and doing so for longer and are working with our partners including Public Health England (PHE), NHS England and UNICEF to achieve this goal.</p><p> </p><p>The promotion of breast feeding is one of the six high-impact areas for health visiting, with health visitors supporting parents around infant feeding. PHE is working with local services to create breastfeeding friendly communities, with midwives and health visitors promoting best practice, and through the Start4Life campaigns, which provide parents with trusted National Health Service advice through the Start4Life ‘Breastfeeding Friend’ (an interactive Facebook Messenger ‘ChatBot’), and the Start4Life website. The latter contains a range of leaflets and resources that professionals can order for free and provides a dedicated breastfeeding helpline.</p><p> </p><p>PHE and UNICEF UK have developed a toolkit to support commissioning of evidence-based interventions to improve breastfeeding rates across England, including provision of effective professional support to mothers and their families through implementation of the Baby Friendly Initiative in every maternity unit. PHE is encouraging Local Maternity Systems across the country to include plans to increase the number of babies’ breastfed at six months within their transformation plans.</p><p> </p><p>Local areas are working to improve breastfeeding. In Blackpool, for example, the local health service, working through the Family Nurse Partnership ADAPT programme, is seeking to increase the frequency of the use of current materials and provide new materials to first time young mothers. These more partner-focused materials will seek to address the role of the family and partner by introducing partners to the subject early and provide a peer support service. They will also provide a new communication tool for family nurses to practice difficult conversations.</p>
