Humber and North Yorkshire Generalist School
The generalist school is an educational programme open to all healthcare staff working across the Humber and North Yorkshire region. Participants can be registered or unregistered health professionals who will learn together in a cohort over a twelve month period. The programme focuses on enhancing generalist skills – the areas of practice which span all specialties and professions such as providing person-centred care, working sustainably in complex systems, reducing health inequalities and managing patients with multiple interacting comorbidities. It is a professional development programme, and as such, managers who support services to become more integrated, patient focused, sustainable and efficient will also find they can learn and contribute, and bring this learning back to their workplaces.
