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
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)

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
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
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

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
1. Curriculum Development and Design Pledge
The Future of Education and Training?
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)
The Future...
Current knowledge to date:
Providers need to form PSN as a legal body that will among other
functions:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Manage and coordinate workforce plans for their health
economy
Consult with communities to develop a local skills and
development strategy
old and allocate funds
Commission/monitor/performance manage contracts for the
provision of education and training (E&T) while quality
assuring E&T standards and value for money
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
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?
The Future... Risks








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... Opportunities
 Provider driven
 Local sensitivity
 Time for change
 New ways of working
 Evolutionary
