Health Education England Developing the GPN role Nursing in Primary Care Conference Context www.hee.nhs.uk www.hee.nhs.uk Introduction “HEE will provide leadership for the new education and training system. It will ensure that the shape and skills of the future health and public health workforce evolves to sustain high quality outcomes for patients in the face of demographic and technological change.” “HEE will ensure that the workforce has the right skills, behaviours and training and is available in the right numbers, to support the delivery of excellent healthcare and drive improvement. HEE will support healthcare providers and clinicians to take greater responsibility for planning and commissioning education and training through development of the Local Education and Training Boards (LETBs) which are statutory committees of HEE.” www.hee.nhs.uk www.hee.nhs.uk HEE’s purpose… HEE exists for one reason and one reason only: to help improve the quality of health and healthcare by ensuring that our workforce has the right numbers, with the right skills, values and behaviours, at the right time and place. Investing in our current and future workforce is the only way to ‘future proof’ the NHS. The healthcare workforce is the means by which the ambitions of the NHS are realised. www.hee.nhs.uk www.hee.nhs.uk Accountability of HEE Department of Health NHS England (NHS Commissioning Board) Monitor National NHS Trust Institute for Care Quality Development Health and Commission Authority Care Excellence Public Health England Health Research Authority • • Health and Social Care Information Centre NHS Blood and Transplant Health Education England Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency NHS Business Services Authority We are one of 15 ALBs in health HEE is accountable to the Secretary of State for Health www.hee.nhs.uk www.hee.nhs.uk NHS Litigation Authority Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority Human Tissue Authority HEE’s roles and responsibilities Workforce Planning NHS Careers £4.9bn per annum = £10,000 per minute www.hee.nhs.uk www.hee.nhs.uk Recruiting for values and behaviours into education and the workforce Commissioning undergraduate and postgraduate education (numbers and content) Leadership of CPD Education, training and development strategy for the nonprofessionally qualified workforce 159,000 students directly or indirectly funded by HEE LETBs • Total of 13 LETBs • Committees of HEE • Not Statutory Bodies • Provider led • Stakeholder representation • Core leadership of: Managing Director Independent Chair Director of Education and Quality Head of Finance • Dispersed HEE leadership • Deaneries part of LETBs www.hee.nhs.uk www.hee.nhs.uk HEE’s Priorities for Workforce Planning • Establish a clear and robust workforce planning process • That enables us to make pragmatic decisions during transition whilst delivering our wider strategic objectives • Underpinned by effective and inclusive governance structures to enable better decision making www.hee.nhs.uk www.hee.nhs.uk Features of the historic system • Separation of Medical and Non-medical planning • Separation of planning for future workforce supply from planning for service / workforce transformation. • No ability to compare priorities and risks across professions • Medical planning had limited local or employer engagement (and therefore challenges to implementation) • Medical planning strongly influenced by supply side issues (due to reliance on training grade doctors for service delivery) • Non-medical planning local with limited national sense check or shared intelligence. • Significant opacity and duplication - not clear who is accountable • Mainly focussed on future workforce numbers • Lack of confidence in forecasting and analysis • Lack of provider engagement and senior leadership input www.hee.nhs.uk www.hee.nhs.uk And of course, nobody even thought about the GP Nurse workforce www.hee.nhs.uk www.hee.nhs.uk Workforce Planning & Development System – AS IS POSITION Governance / Operational SHA Boards Regulatory / Advisory Medical Education England Ministerial NHSOB Planning & Prioritisation Employers groups / LMCs Workforce Leadership Group DH Medical / MEE Programme Boards HENSE - RG Joint Working Group WAPPIG Medical Royal Colleges HENSE / HEFCE / BIS / QAA Staff Side – RCN / BMA..
