This is a free 20-minute bite-size session specifically for GP surgeries.

From 1 January 2027, the qualifying period for ordinary unfair dismissal protection will reduce from two years to just six months. The statutory cap on compensatory awards will also be removed.

For GP surgeries, these changes make effective probation management, performance reviews and employment decision-making more important than ever.

Join Sara Ellison, Employment Law Partner, as she explores:

• What the changes mean for GP surgeries.
• Which employees will gain protection under the new six-month qualifying period.
• Why existing probation arrangements may need reviewing.
• How practices can reduce risk through structured reviews, clear objectives and accurate records.

This practical session is designed for GP partners, practice managers and anyone responsible for managing employees within general practice.

The future of health and care will not be shaped by ambition alone, but by the choices we make now.

This conference brings us together to consider what it would mean to have good health for all by 2040, and what is needed to make this possible. What’s holding us back, what needs to change, and how can we do this with people at the heart?

Across the country and beyond, some of the most significant changes shaping health and care are already underway. Advances in technology and AI, shifting public expectations, changing workforce dynamics and growing financial pressures are beginning to reshape how care is delivered and experienced.

But these changes are playing out against a system that is struggling to keep pace.

With health inequalities widening, healthy life expectancy falling, and a forecasted doubling of health care spending, there is a growing consensus that the current model cannot continue as it is. This sits alongside a changing political and policy context, shaped by the recent local elections and the recently announced NHS Modernisation Bill, which are likely to influence the direction of health and care in the months and years ahead.

Through a mix of plenaries and themed sessions – be challenged, learn and do – this conference offers opportunities to debate, share insight and test ideas with your peers. Sessions will combine panel discussions, case studies and interactive workshops, designed to help you think differently about the future: testing assumptions, and considering changes that will move us from ambition to practical action.

This conference goes beyond responding to today’s pressures. Together, we’ll look ahead to how we can shape a health and care system that delivers better health for everyone – now and in the decades to come.

The National Kidney Federation has launched CKD Connect, a campaign focused on improving awareness, recognition and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in primary care. Through the campaign, they want to support healthcare professionals to “think kidney” and recognise CKD earlier, while ensuring people diagnosed with CKD have access to clear information and trusted support.

As part of CKD Connect, they are hosting a free educational webinar for healthcare professionals, with a particular focus on supporting primary care teams to recognise CKD earlier and strengthen ongoing management. The session aims to provide practical education and expert guidance to help healthcare professionals identify early-stage CKD and associated risk factors, support informed conversations at diagnosis and build confidence in managing CKD in primary care.

Background

Chronic kidney disease is very common, affecting around one in ten people, yet it often causes no symptoms. Blood or urine tests are therefore essential to identifying the condition. Some people are at greater risk of CKD, including those living with conditions associated with poorer kidney health, such as diabetes. Greater awareness of CKD risk factors and co-morbidities can help healthcare professionals identify opportunities for appropriate testing and monitoring. Too many people learn they have CKD through a letter, test result or the NHS App, with limited explanation of what the diagnosis means or where to turn for help.

Providing clear, accessible information from the outset can help people better understand their condition, reduce anxieties and build confidence and capability in self-managing their health more effectively.

Chronic kidney disease is not something you have to navigate alone. Being diagnosed with the condition can feel worrying or overwhelming, but support is available. The National Kidney Federation offers people who are newly diagnosed with CKD access to practical guidance, educational resources, peer support and expert advice, helping people better understand their diagnosis and feel supported from day one.

More information on CKD Connect can be found here.

General practitioners are being invited to join one of the world’s leading events focused on headache and migraine.

The 11th Biennial National Meeting on Headache is organised jointly by the International Headache Society (IHS) and the Department of Neurology at Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. The extensive four-day programme provides educational opportunities for healthcare professionals across both primary and secondary care, and working in varying different roles.

The event has been held in Hull since its inception in 2005 by the city’s hospital-based neurology team and is now the biggest headache educational event in the UK, attracting hundreds of delegates each year. In 2027, international experts will fly in to share their knowledge from as far afield as Denmark, Spain and the USA, while Professor Mario Peres from Sao Paulo, Brazil, will deliver the third Vicky Quarshie Memorial Lecture.

To promote learning across the sectors, parts of the programme have been designed specifically with the needs of GPs and primary care professionals in mind, covering topics such as paediatric headaches; migraine and co-morbidities; extended roles for GPs with Special Interest (GpwSI); and migraine, stroke and the elderly.

The meeting also attracts 16 external CME credits courtesy of the Royal College of Physicians (RCP).

On the final day, members of the public are being invited to attend to learn more about the conditions, advances in treatment, how lifestyle changes may affect their headaches/migraine, and will be given the chance to put questions to the experts.

The meeting is free to attend but should be secured by a refundable deposit. As the event in regularly sold out, early booking is strongly advised. There will be conference dinner on Thursday 21st January which is open to all delegates as a means of meeting and interacting with the speakers and invited faculty.

Chorea is the most obvious change that people with Huntington’s disease display, but what exactly is it, what impact does it have, and how can we best support people who are experiencing it?

We’re welcoming GPs and other healthcare professionals to this free lunchtime webinar on this important topic. There will be the opportunity for questions.

This webinar follows on from the Treating movement disorders in people living with Huntington’s disease professional guideline, launched by the Huntington’s Disease Association in May 2026.

This guideline has been developed to provide GPs and other healthcare professionals with a clear and accessible starting point, helping to build confidence and support further learning. It has been endorsed by the European Huntington’s Disease Network (EHDN).

The speaker is Professor Anne Rosser. Anne is Professor of Clinical Neuroscience, Division of Psychological Medicine and Clinical Neurosciences, Cardiff University. Anne is also the author of the Huntington’s Disease Association’s guideline ‘Treating movement disorders in people living with Huntington’s disease.
