The caring staff of PICS (Primary Integrated Community Services) provide the people of Nottinghamshire with holistic wellbeing and health services in the community. Ensuring a seamless experience for patients the company is proud to be a trusted partner of the NHS, and it collaborates with the whole social and health system.
Formed in 2013 by a GP and a practice partner PICS' specialist, experienced clinicians and carers support GPs and practices to provide vital services – which include acute home visiting, cardiology care and advance care planning – in primary and community settings. PICS services are free for patients to access, as appointed by the NHS. Wholly owned by local GPs, if the company makes any surplus the money goes back into developing staff and patient services, not for profit.
PICS employees have worked on the front line throughout the pandemic, looking after patients in their homes and communities and exemplifying the company's core value: ‘we care'. PICS' priority since the Covid-19 outbreak has been to keep patients and staff safe by preventing and controlling infection and by finding new ways of working.
Employees not on the front line switched to remote working and the workforce has kept in touch via Microsoft Teams and an improved staff intranet. PICS has implemented thorough safety processes and procedures for those returning to the office, although some teams may continue to work from home. On the sad occasion of an employee suffering a close bereavement during the pandemic PICS sent flowers.
My manager cares about how satisfied I am in my job
With Covid-related national guidance emerging rapidly from the NHS and the government PICS issued a manager's guide to help with queries from team members – such as working from home arrangements and wearing PPE. The management team met via video call during the pandemic to share issues and look for solutions that would help with the delivery of patient services.
This organisation is run on strong values / principles
PICS company leaders continued coming into the Nottingham headquarters at least three days a week throughout the pandemic, in support of staff who were facing a higher risk of Covid infection by delivering face-to-face care to patients.
I am happy with the balance between my work and home life
Staff have access to a clinical psychology service offering one-to-one support for bereavement and anxiety-related issues. PICS also introduced #20minCareSpace, an optional 20-minute call at the end of team meetings hosted by a trained facilitator for staff to reflect on challenges, reconnect with each other and devise personal wellbeing plans.
At least 40% of senior managers are women.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
