Data opt-out rights could be changing
Following the Care Quality Commission’s new security standards imposed on General Practice last year, the government has set out new proposals to scrap the ‘type 1 opt-out’ rights for patient data. This currently gives patients the right to opt-out of having their confidential data shared outside of their GP practice for purposes beyond their direct care. A single national opt-out system is to be implemented from March 2018 following the national guardian data review into data protection ...

Why you should always give candidates feedback after an interview
Job interviews can be a nerve wracking experience for many people and the days or even weeks, waiting to hear feedback can be an agonising period. When candidates finally do hear back from an organisation, it can be a weight off their shoulders. Best-case scenario, the candidate is successful and is chosen for the role in question. However, for every candidate that is successful there will also be at least five or six others that weren’t. The best practice for the remaining candidates is...

Curveball interview questions and why you should be using them
Imagine you interview two good candidates for a job; they both have the right qualifications, are equally skilled for the role and answer competency questions well. So how do you distinguish who is the best candidate for the job? More employers are using curveball interview questions for this reason; they are designed to see how the applicant thinks on their feet and answers a question they haven’t prepared for. There is no right or wrong answer to these questions, it’s about the candidat...

Why do charities struggle to recruit Trustees?
Recent research revealed by the Third Sector publication echoes the regular struggles and frustrations we hear about from our clients, repeatedly.

Getting on Board’s recent report suggests a staggering 74% of charities find it difficult to recruit Trustees. The prime issue is becoming too reliant on using their existing network. It is time to step away from your n...

What’s next on the cards for the NHS?
The current state of the NHS and what will happen over the next four years is uncertain as pressure mounts on the treatment of the NHS and its staff. Staff pay and ward closures are just a few of the many ongoing issues that the current government will face, as well as the knock-on effects on other areas within the NHS such as general practice and pressures on junior doctors. Over the next five years the Conservatives have promised an extra £8bn for the health service. Policy analysts have ...

Hot under the collar? Tips to prevent your staff wilting in the heat
We do like to moan about the weather in the UK. It’s always too hot, too cold, the wrong kind of rain. I personally like the heat, but preferably when I am sat beside a pool and don’t have to move! Unfortunately in the UK, public transport and offices often don’t cope well with the heat, trains come to a halt and air conditioning systems that have worked during the coldest months fail. We can’t all take our laptop down to the beach to work for the day, so we have put together our top tips...

Supporting carers in the workplace
According to employers for carers, 1 in 9 people in your workforce will be caring for someone who is older, disabled or seriously ill and with an ageing population and people living longer, more people in the workplace are going to have caring responsibilities. Yet the CIPD reported that only a third of employers currently support working carers. Clearly showing you support carers can help attract staff that may not have otherwise applied and will benefit retention. It can also reduce stre...
