GFirst LEP’s CEO, David Owen gave an update on the activities of the LEP including the Economic Recovery Plan for Gloucestershire, responses to the Growth Hub’s Business Intelligence Survey and outbound business calls to the largest 200 businesses in the county. The update also included various collaboration activities: partnering with Glosjobs.co.uk, and supporting Punchline with their Business Champions feature. • Nine of the ten business group Chairs were present at the meeting, and each gave an update on the current state of affairs in their sector. The main areas of concern following COVID-19 were: o a reduction of up to 40% in the demand from civil aerospace industry o Unemployment and re-training will be major issues over the next 3-12 months as businesses fail to recover o The cyber and digital industry is stronger than ever before, and is relevant to all sectors • David Owen thanked the Chairs for their support in the development of the Economic Recovery Plan. The LEP and its business ‘voice’ is all the more richer with a diverse, knowledgeable support network, and by feeding this knowledge into the economic recovery plan, we have created a business-rich report which will compliment the place-based recovery plans being produced by the local authorities and will collectively support Gloucestershire to move forward.

  • Would You Like to Live and Work in England?
    Would you like to live and work in England? The NHS is looking for GPs to work in Gloucestershire NHS England Gateway reference: INTRODUCTION The National Health Service in England is running an international recruitment campaign for family doctors. In England these are called General Practitioners or GPs. We plan to recruit around 2,000 GPs from overseas by 2020. They will work alongside GPs we train in England to develop an exciting range of health services away from hospitals and in local community settings. This brochure explains the importance of GPs in providing healthcare to our population. It tells you about the application process and what to expect when you apply. We are recruiting GPs for many areas across England. This brochure gives you an idea of the benefits and opportunities available to you if you choose to work in Gloucestershire. WHY WORK AS A GP IN ENGLAND? GPs in England are the foundation of the NHS. They are usually the first person a patient turns to for help and they deal with a whole range of health problems. They are general experts in the whole field of medicine for adults and children. They manage the healthcare of all their patients, including acute illness, long term conditions and mental health problems. GPs usually work in practices, often leading teams which include nurses, healthcare assistants, practice managers, receptionists and other staff. Practices also work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as health visitors, midwives, pharmacists, physiotherapists, mental health services and social care services. GPs provide continuing medical care for patients in the community or they will refer patients to hospital clinics for further assessment or treatment by specialists.

David Owen gave an update on the activity within the LEP including with the Careers Hub launch, the skills portal, the business recovery toolkit. Dev Chakraborty gave an update on business grants, with the Growth Hub receiving £500,000 worth of grant enquiries within 65 minutes. There may also be opportunities for further funding for the county’s ‘Top 3’ infrastructure investments. All Growth Hubs have had funding for EU Exit Advisors which will be in place to offer support until March 2021. GFirst LEP and the Growth Hub will be sponsoring the SoGlos Business Awards in October 2021 with the Annual Review held on the same day as the awards ceremony. Updates from Chairs: • Visitor Economy & Tourism: Gloucestershire is suffering but not as badly as some Northern Towns. Shopping Centers and Market towns seem busy however some shops have decided to remain closed. Christmas markets not taking place will be another blow for the industry. Working with Local Authorities and DMOs to develop a framework for a Tourism Strategy for Gloucestershire. • Retail & the High Street: Place managers are encouraging people to shop locally as independents try to make the most of the weeks running up to Christmas. People spent a lot of money online shopping early on so it’s likely we will see more independent retails fail in the New Year.
