Fantastic commitment to NHS workforce development and CPD
The government has announced £150 million of new investment in continuing professional development (CPD) for all nurses, midwives and AHPs in trusts and general practice whilst the NHS Operational Planning and Contracting Guidance details the future support pledged for CPD.
The NHS
Operational Planning and Contracting Guidance 2020/21 (published January 2020) pledges
huge future support for Continuing Professional Development.
Excerpts
from pages 20-22 include:
Delivering the improvements set out in the NHS Long Term Plan requires urgent and sustained action to improve working cultures and staff experience and to achieve workforce transformation and growth.
The full NHS People Plan when published, will set out a comprehensive programme of action across the NHS for 2020/21 and beyond to grow the future workforce, supported by reforms to education and training.
Provider plans should set out actions to make the NHS the best place to work and improve retention specifically on giving staff an ability to learn, develop and fulfil their potential (including use of the new £150m Continuing Professional Development budget) with immediate action to increase recruitment and retention of the registered nursing workforce.
