 Practice Plus Standards:-
- The organisational culture demonstrates a genuine commitment to flexible retirement
-
Positive encouragement for staff approaching retirement to take up
flexible working patterns including all general practice staff
-
All staff including general practice
staff continue to have access to an appropriately trained and
resourced childcare co-ordinator, who is active as parent’s
advisor and advocate for flexible working patterns.
-
Accessible, affordable and good quality
childcare support is available to meet diverse needs of staff
with children, including those in general practice, and
demonstrates a clear commitment to equality and diversity
-
Positive support provided for and taken
up by staff who are carers
- Carers manage a
healthy balance between their work and their commitments outside
work.
Flexible Retirement - Offering more flexible routes to
retirement, such as part time work and a chance to wind down, can
help staff extend their contribution and reduce pressures on
staffing levels. Mature and experienced staff have a great deal to
offer the PCT. Retirement involves a significant
change in lifestyle. All staff should take the opportunity to plan
for their retirement and it is recommended that staff should start
planning for retirement at least five years before the date they
intend to retire.
Summary of findings from 2nd
Self Assessment - March 2005
Support for Carers - PCT provisions are intended to support
staff in dealing with unexpected or other emergencies and to make
any longer term arrangements. They should not be regarded as
"rights or entitlements" to time off, with or without
pay, but rather as provisions which are available to support the
partnership approach and are based upon the principles of
fairness, reasonableness and co-operation and upon the needs of
the service and of individual personal circumstances.
