Career Framework for Health
Skills for Health (2006) Scottish Government
(2006/9)
Consists of nine levels at which a function can be performed, from level 1
initial entry jobs to more senior staff at level 9.
It aids workforce flexibility, providing a common language and currency to
support career planning.
It does this by mapping the NHS workforce into a nine level core skills and
competence framework (except doctors and dentists).
The nine levels represent a clustering of ‘roles’ which are grouped according
to complexity, responsibility and the level of experience and knowledge
required to carry them out.
It has no direct link to pay – concerned only with defining the level of
knowledge, competence, responsibility and associated experience,
required for the delivery of roles within the NHS in Scotland.

The Post Registration Career and
Development Framework for Nurses,
Midwives and Allied health professionals
The Post Registration Career Framework is a web based resource which
provides an infrastructure to support the continuing and changing
development needs of the nursing, midwifery and allied health
professions workforce.
It aims to help these practitioners to assess their learning needs and plan
their continuing development.
It builds on a range of work already done for specific groups eg Neonatal
Nurses; Community Nurses but provides a common framework that
only needs to be customised to specific groups.
The framework identifies key aspects of practice transferable across
discipline specific and speciality groups.

Structure of the Framework
Two key parts – levels of practice and pillars of practice.
Levels of Practice
Based on levels 5 -9 of the Career Framework for Health (Skills for Health
2006; Scottish Government (2009).
The overview of each level of practice provides a description of the
attributes expected and the qualification level that may be expected.
Pillars of Practice
Built on four pillars of practice:
• Clinical Practice
• Facilitation of learning (education)
• Leadership
• Evidence, Research and Development
