Evaluation of ECQ Pilot: Areas that Worked Well Engagement and Partnership Working (Brings Change): Overarching process and transparency Engagement, communication, collaboration and support from NHSWM Education Development Team ECQ stakeholder engagement events Use of Externality (lay and clinical externality) on review panels RAG ratings of programmes and action plans
11
Evaluation of ECQ Pilot: Future Challenges Increase Confidence of Triangulation of Data: Increase student feedback (e.g. Questionnaire / whistle blowing email / graduate survey) Increase employer feedback (e.g. Employer questionnaire / overview of partnership working in self assessment) Establishing saturation of data – when do we know this is the truth? Establishing data sets to trigger further investigation (e.g. Annual Monitoring Reports by professional bodies)
12
Evaluation of ECQ Pilot: Future Challenges Quality is a Perception - Tensions: Service user perceptions of quality... “a student reported I was left on my own....” e.g. Professional body requirements, vs. Education commissioner requirements e.g. Programme meets professional body standards, however attrition is high
13
Evaluation of ECQ Pilot: Future Challenges Partnership Dynamics 50% Education in Practice, 50% Education Theory... Evaluation demonstrated lack of synergy between stakeholders in some areas
14
Enhancing Partnership Dynamics: Education and Practice Partnership Agreement What was the gap? Historic multi-professional gap between Education Providers, Placement Providers and Undergraduate Medical and Dental Schools Contractual Relationships: Learning and Development Agreements (LDA) between NHSWM and Placement Providers National Contracts between NHSWM and Higher Education Institutions (Education Providers) What we did: Large multi-professional stakeholders groups from Placement, HEIs and SHA were involved with the development of EPPA document and pledges
15
EPPA and the 3 Key Stakeholder Groups Placement Providers i.e. NHS Trust Placement Providers i.e. NHS Trust Education Providers i.e. HEI Education Providers i.e. HEI Commissioner i.e. NHS West Midlands SHA Commissioner i.e. NHS West Midlands SHA
16
Core EPPA Principles CurriculumRecruitment Placement Learning Placement Capacity Clinical Skills Sharing Information Fitness for Practice Student Support
17
Turning Principles into Pledges The pledges... Reflect a common understanding of how our relationships function Capture the key roles and responsibilities of all partners in relation to each specific area Represent a commitment by all Have been agreed by all partners equally Aspirational and not legally binding
18
1. Curriculum Development and Design Pledge
19
The Future of Education and Training?
20
The Future... What we know: DH consultation Liberating the NHS: Developing the Healthcare Workforce (DEC 2010) sets out proposals to change the way the healthcare sector plans, trains and develops its workforce It proposes the introduction of Provider Skills Networks (PSN)
21
The Future... Current knowledge to date: Providers need to form PSN as a legal body that will among other functions: 1. Manage and coordinate workforce plans for their health economy 2. Consult with communities to develop a local skills and development strategy 3. old and allocate funds 4. Commission/monitor/performance manage contracts for the provision of education and training (E&T) while quality assuring E&T standards and value for money
22
The Future... Current knowledge to date: Key national design principles require PSN to be: Provider and employer driven Multi professional Able to evidence strong clinical and professional engagement and partnerships with Higher Education Institutions
23
The Future... Current knowledge to date : DH propose a new national leadership body – Health Education England (HEE) which will be a statutory body and special health authority to support: National leadership on workforce planning and development Allocate and account for resources that promote high quality Education and Training and develop Provider Skills Networks The proposed timeline for change... March? July?
24
Timescales are very tight Disruption of services Loss of knowledge Resources spread too thin Governance needs balance Functions fragmented Providers may disengage Provider behaviour may not be strategic The Future... Risks
25
The Future... Opportunities Provider driven Local sensitivity Time for change New ways of working Evolutionary
