NESC General Update

• NESC business plan for the coming year – in final draft. NESC is required to make a 3% efficiency saving and the SHA has top-sliced the NESC budget by £16m. These pressures on our funding mean that there is a £4 million short-fall for what we do. Staff were asked to think about how they can work smarter and/or differently and to look at innovative ways of doing things.

• Education Bursary Scheme – applications now closed panel meet on 14/15 April

• Specialty recruitment – there is a big emphasis on recruitment to specialties. 50% of undergraduates ultimately go into GP training practices. However more GP training practices are needed

• Learning & Development Agreement & Education Provider Agreement – almost all signed

NESC General Update• Academic Health Sciences Centres (AHSCs) – Oxford has unfortunately

not been selected.

• Health Innovation & Education Clusters – These have not been very clearly defined but involve having more innovation within education at a local level and partnerships between industry, education & the NHS. Vicky Osgood, with Michael Bannon, to lead on behalf of NESC

• MPET Review and students – money from Department of Health will now “follow the student”. Interim ‘shadow’ arrangements to be considered this year with roll out 2010/11 (tbc)

• Annual Learning and Training Directory – this is currently being compiled and will help all staff to understand the opportunities available to them.

NESC General Update

• NESC Education Magazine – issue 1 printed and distributed

• Graduate Nurses – by 2015 the first group of all-graduate nurses will enter practice. Career pathways continuing professional development and mentoring could have an effect on a broad range of existing staff.

• Apprenticeships – the government have announced plans to increase the number of apprenticeships available in the public sector. 5000 of these will be within the health service and social care. The number of apprenticeships within South Central SHA will increase to ≤ 500 compared to the current figure of 62.

• Commissioner/Provider Split by end of year– this applies to certain areas of NESC such as the Courses Centre. Separate management accounts must be kept so that our business remains competitive and transparent.

The 2009/10 ObjectivesDep’t Overall Aims

1 Post Graduate Medical Education To ensure delivery of the highest quality postgraduate training for doctors and dentists, to meet the evolving needs of the health service

To improve the skills and competencies of the workforce, widen participation in learning and enhance the contribution of staff in bands 1 to 4 to improve productivity and transfer healthcare

To ensure placement capacity is adequate to support student/trainee . Work with Trusts and PCT’s to ensure that the learning environment and learning resources are quality assured and fit for purpose

3 Courses and Conferences To develop a range of courses and conferences which will ensure capable and effective practitioners across all healthcare professions to support better patient care

4 Innovation & Development To support workforce redesign by developing new roles which support changes in the workforce and plan for capacity and productivity

delivery models – linking workforce, education & training...

Big Question...

• So, how do we get the right number of the right type of student onto the right courses – meeting service & patient needs?

AND

• Be confident that they are ‘fit for practice/purpose’ when they finish...

Workforce Planning, Education & Training

How should we change the infrastructure and content of education to ensure the future workforce has the right skills?

How should workforce planning be done to deliver trainees and a workforce of the right size, structure and skill?

Personalised to the needs and wants of each individual, especially the most vulnerable and those in greatest need, providing access to services at the time and place of their choice.
