In the North of England, NHS England and NHS Improvement and Public Health England have come together to set up an award scheme to recognise the efforts made by the care sector, care homes, hospices and domiciliary care providers, who have achieved a high level of flu vaccine uptake for their staff. This scheme is being implemented following a successful pilot scheme that ran during the last flu season (2018-19). The award includes all health and social care staff who are directly involved in the care of vulnerable patients/clients who are at increased risk from exposure to influenza. Vulnerable means those patients /clients in a clinical risk group for flu, or who are aged 65 years or over and is intended to complement any existing local initiatives. The flu jab helps to protect you from catching flu and it also reduces the risk of you passing the virus on to the people you care for. There is an increased risk of them catching flu because of their long-term condition or disability, and they could develop complications and become seriously ill as a result.

Nominations sought for the first Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire AHP and Social Care awards Have you had a brilliant experience with a paramedic, music therapist or a dietician? NHS Hull and NHS East Riding Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) are looking for you to nominate your healthcare hero for an award - but there’s a twist! The event is set to showcase only allied health professionals and health and social care workers - who are a diverse, yet sometimes overlooked, sector of our local health workforce.

An exciting new “East Riding of Yorkshire Future Communities Initiative” will be launching soon. This initiative, funded by Goole II Wind Farm Innogy Renewables UK Ltd, and facilitated by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, is designed to help local community and voluntary groups achieve their own goals through participating in free topic based training and development sessions, sharing knowledge and experience via facilitated networks and making the most of new communication channels such as social media.

Unfortunately due to the general election being called for the 12 December and the pre-election period (referred to as purdah) being placed on the civil service we will have to postpone the National Data Strategy - 2030 events until further notice. General elections have a number of implications for the work of civil servants and the need for the civil service to remain impartial. Due to this departments are not allowed to undertake any activity that could call into question our political impartiality or that could give rise to criticism that public resources are being used for party political purposes. We apologise for the short notice and we look forward to our continued engagement after the general election. Best wishes, The National Data Strategy team.
