Education and training theme

The education and training theme will consider how the right incentives and accountabilities can be put in place for developing the healthcare workforce to enable the delivery of world class, patient-centred healthcare.

 The NHS Future Forum education and training theme members are requesting input on the following questions:

•  How can the Department of Health ensure that education and training in the new system is flexible and fit-for-purpose for the new way that care is delivered and enables training beyond the job, for example stimulating a culture of continuing professional development or academic and research development?
•  How can the Department of Health ensure the right balance of responsibilities and accountability and line of sight throughout the new system (for example, Health Education England and the provider-led networks, employers / professions / education sector, whole workforce) including for research training?
• How can an effective partnership with health, education and research at a local level be best facilitated?
• How can appropriate and effective patient and public engagement be ensured in the new system?
• How can information on the quality of education and training be improved?
• How can information on the quality of education and training be improved and what should be the roles and accountabilities of the key players in this?
