Education

Some of the myths:
Workforce planning is
• All about numbers
• Can be done in a ‘cupboard’
• More connection with policy than patients
• There is only one tool in the toolkit
• A workforce strategy is the same as a workforce plan

Summary of Education Commissioning Process
(East Midlands LETB)
LETC workforce plans
Care Pathway
Workshops
(June)
(July – August)
The countywide workforce
plans are produced in
partnership with
stakeholders across the
community by the
workforce team. The
plans link with the service
commissioners intentions
and priorities, this includes
across health and social
care organisations.
The main themes of these
plans from across the East
Midlands forms the basis
of the Care Pathway
workshops held during July
and August, with
contribution from
stakeholders , in relevant
the professions and
organisations. The
workshops hosted in 2013
were: Children’s Health,
Maternity and New born,
Mental Health, Learning
Disabilities, Prevention
and Primary Care and
Planned Care.
Commissioning Events
(Aug – Sept)
A series of professional
focused meetings are held
to extrapolate relevant
details from the
discussions, workforce
plans and national drivers
to inform the decisions on
the numbers to
commission for the future
workforce and where
appropriate the type of
course e.g. Bachelors or
Masters level. The
attendees at these
sessions participate in a
robust discussion, prior to
the decision being taken to
the governing body for
ratification. From this
point the HEIs are engaged
in the discussions on
implementing the
outcomes of the process.

Care
Compassion
Care is our business and that of our organisations and the care we deliver
helps the individual person and improves the health of the whole community. Caring defines us and our work. People receiving care expect it to
be right for them, consistently, throughout every stage of their life.
Compassion is how care is given through relationships based on empathy,
respect and dignity – it can also be described as intelligent kindness, and is
central to how people perceive their care.

Courage
Communication
Courage enables us to do the right thing for the people we care for, to speak
up when we have concerns and to have the personal strength and vision to
innovate and to embrace new ways of working.
Communication is central to successful caring relationships and to effective
team working. Listening is as important as what we say and do and essential
for “no decision about me without me”. Communication is the key to a good
workplace with benefits for those in our care and staff alike.

Competence
Commitment
Competence means all those in caring roles must have the ability to
understand an individual’s health and social needs and the expertise,
clinical and technical knowledge to deliver effective care and
treatment based on research and evidence.
A commitment to our patients and populations is a cornerstone of what we
do. We need to build on our commitment to improve the care and
experience of our patients, to take action to make this vision and strategy a
reality for all and meet the health, care and support challenges ahead.
