Out of sight, not out of touch: supporting connected community healthcare teams

Practical ways to keep community healthcare teams informed, connected and supported wherever they work.

Explore how clearer communication and easier access to information can strengthen NHS staff engagement, helping colleagues working across homes, clinics and other settings stay connected without adding to the volume of messages they receive.

Practical Insights

Everyday workforce challenges

Ideas you can put into action

Can your community teams find what they need, when they need it?

Community healthcare staff spend much of their working day away from a desk. Yet important updates, policies and resources are often shared through channels that assume colleagues have regular access to email or an intranet.

When information is difficult to find, staff may spend time searching for guidance, asking colleagues for answers or checking whether an update is still current. Teams working across different locations can also miss opportunities to share feedback and feel connected to the wider organisation.

This practical webinar explores how Trusts can make communication work better for a mobile workforce, with relevant information that is easier to access during the working day.

We’ll consider how an NHS workforce app can bring updates, guidance, contacts and feedback opportunities together, and where it could fit within your wider NHS staff engagement strategy.

Who should attend?

This session is designed for colleagues in Community Health Trusts working in:

Internal communications
Workforce engagement and staff experience
Digital transformation
Organisational development
Community service management
Community nursing leadership
Operational and workforce leadership

It will also be useful for anyone responsible for keeping dispersed healthcare teams informed and supported.
