Learning environment resources

The SLEC supports the development of positive safety cultures and continuous learning across all learning environments in the NHS. It is underpinned by principles of equality, diversity, and inclusion. The charter was created in response to healthcare learners’ feedback on their clinical experiences in maternity services, set out in the Kirkup (2015 and 2022) and Ockenden (2020 and 2022) reports.

The charter is designed for learners and those responsible for supporting placement learning across all learning environments and all professions within them, and is available on the NHS England website.

The BMA’s England GP committee has generated a Safe working in General Practice guide to enable GP practices to prioritise safe patient care, within the present bounds of the GMS contract. The guide is available on the BMA’s website.

In partnership with Wessex Local Medical Committees, Dr Steph Carter and Dr Claire Hodgekiss, both GP Partners in Hampshire discuss the projects they have been involved in to improve their practice service for both patients and staff.

Steph’s practice worked on improved access for patients. By creating a better workplace culture, the team worked together to achieve improved capacity and safe general practice care. Claire describes how her practice took back control of the number of daily contacts to improve patient care, with a focus on same day access.
