Changes to the Educational Landscape: an SHA perspective

Tricia Ellis, Head of Knowledge Management and eLearning

South West Technology Enhanced Learning Strategy Group 28th June 2012

Education landscape to March 2012

Dept of Health required SHAs to deliver health policies to meet the Strategic/Operating Framework for healthcare needs of the country

10 SHAs worked with their NHS organisations to deliver national healthcare policies. The SHA Workforce Directorates managed the planning and implementation of workforce numbers, and the commissioning of education and resources

SHAs managed the Multi-Professional Education Levy and led NHS organisations and other education partners to ensure that education commissioned aligned with national and local requirements

From April 2012

At the heart of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 is the drive for local healthcare decisions to meet local needs. The National Commissioning Board and Clinical Commissioning Groups are the mechanisms to enable this.

A new Public Health England has been established to address health promotion and health information

Health Education England has been set up to be the overseer and quality assurer of education and training

Locally decided and service driven education planning and commissioning is being established through Local Education and Training Boards
