Dr Edmund Jack is a GP partner at Yealm Medical Centre. He also works for PenARC (The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) South West Peninsula as a Clinical Champion for Making Sense of Evidence. He combines his knowledge and experience of primary care and research to develop and teach about evidence informed clinical decision making. He has worked with groups of patients, allied health professionals and doctors across the South-West. This has lead to him developing ideas around how to apply research in practice to patients with multimorbidity and thinking about how this can be taught – the SHERPA model. He is developing this with colleagues in PenARC and the Community and Primary Care Research Group at Plymouth University. He enjoys writing and published a paper, A New Model for Clinical Decision Making in Patients with Multimorbidity: SHERPA (Sharing Evidence Routine for a Person-centred plan for Action) It has been published in the Lancet, Primary Care Issue, October 20th 2018.

Abstract

Abstract Body

Background

It is difficult to develop the high-level skills needed to deliver personalised care, particularly where patients have multimorbidity. Recognising that there is no established training model for this, we developed SHERPA, presented in The Lancet 2018, and recently published an evaluation of the associated educational package.

Aim and learning objectives

To explore and enhance skills in applying personalised care to complex patients

Explore the challenges presented by multimorbidity

Understand and apply the SHERPA model

Evaluate key components of learning about personalised care

Method and timetable

Opening plenary (15 minutes)

Introduction, objectives

what are the challenges presented by multimorbidity

Breakout room, small groups (15 minutes)

What are the challenges delegates encounter? What are the benefits?

2nd plenary (20 minutes)

Interactive feedback to summarise delegates experiences

What is the theory underpinning the SHERPA model

Presentation including role play video: how the SHERPA model addresses the challenges of personalised care

Breakout rooms, small groups (15 minutes)

Responses to SHERPA. How could you apply this in your practice? How could you modify the model?

What is your current approach? How does this compare?

3rd plenary (20 minutes)

Interactive feedback to explore how delegates could apply or develop the SHERPA model

Conclusions (5 minutes)

Take away messages

Results/Conclusions

Delegates will be supported to draw on their experience applying personalised and their new learning around SHERPA to identify personal ‘next steps’ to developing their own practice. We would encourage the development of a collaborative group to build experience and research in this area.
