Health and Social Care Sectors Project

The Scottish Funding Council has provided funding for the project and the sector's Care Strategy Steering Group will oversee activities.

Aims

  • to build on already established links between the college sector and NHS
  • to ensure for learners, that flexible national programmes of education are in place across Scotland which allow the workforce within the NHS and Health and Social Care Sectors, to respond to changing service needs and continue to deliver high standards of patient and client care.

Although initially this project focuses on the National Health Service, the role of social care and early years educational development is fully recognised and acknowledged.

Outcomes

  • a strategic plan which is responsive to the needs of the health and allied sectors (particularly NHS) with realistic targets for activity and which is linked to key stakeholder documents
  • project development guidelines and planning templates which build on and facilitate a coherent, consistent approach across the sector
  • authoritative information on current and future skills needs in health education with advice to colleges on how these might be met
  • development of resources which illustrate college contribution to health education and increased awareness amongst NHS and other key stakeholders
  • college representation, on key groups to ensure college representatives are fully briefed on their contribution to health care workforce and work streams development.
