4. 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 www.nesc.nhs.uk

5. 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. www.nesc.nhs.uk

6. 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. www.nesc.nhs.uk
