Written reflections are a requirement of revalidation. Follow these tips on how to best prepare yours. In order to revalidate, you are required to record a minimum of five written reflections. These reflections can be based on your continuing professional development (CPD) and / or a practice-related event or feedback.

Whichever combination you choose, you must reflect on something that happened in the three years prior to your revalidation date. Visit the Library’s Revalidation support page for more information

DH confirms changes to healthcare education funding

25/7/2016

0 Comments

The Department of Health has confirmed the proposed changes to how healthcare education will be funded.
Under the changes, which come into effect from August 2017, student nurses, midwives and allied health professionals will no longer have access to NHS bursaries. Bursaries will be replaced with a loans system to provide tuition funding and financial support.

The government acknowledges that the clinical placement element of these courses is unique to healthcare students and is planning a range actions to help students to complete their study, including support with childcare and travel costs.

Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has launched a new public information campaign to tackle the rise in race hate crime following the EU referendum.

The EHRC is providing important advice on employees’ rights both in and outside of work, as well as information about where people can go for help and how to report race hate incidents.More information is available on the EHRC website, where you can also read a blog from chair David Isaac and download a factsheet containing important information for employers.

Please continue to show your support for EU colleagues by getting involved with our #LoveOurEUStaff campaign, and find out more about race equality on our diversity and inclusion web pages.

Parliamentary briefing: Lords debate on the implications of Brexit on ensuring safe staffing levels in the NHS and social care

25/7/2016

0 Comments

This briefing has been prepared for Peers ahead of a House of Lords debate on the implications of Brexit on safe staffing levels across health and social care.

It draws on information from the NHS European Office and NHS Employers, both of which are part of the NHS Confederation.

Key points

The UK’s decision to leave the European Union has created uncertainty for the significant portion of our workforce who are from other EU countries. Approximately five percent of staff working in the NHS are from other EU countries; the proportion is higher for some professions and some regions. This represents over 57,000 people. If many of these staff leave, there would be some risk to our ability to deliver current levels of access to care.

We therefore ask that immediate steps be taken to assure staff from other EU countries currently working in the NHS and social care that they will be able to remain in the UK indefinitely.

The uncertainty created about our ability in future to recruit from other EU countries is also worrying NHS leaders, given current staff shortages in some professions and some local areas. We have an immediate and pressing need for clinical staff which cannot be met from our domestically trained market.

There is also concern about what leaving the EU will mean for the NHS’ ability to recruit the best international candidates to support its world-leading clinical practice, research and education.

We note too that a similar and most likely higher proportion of the social care workforce is from other EU countries; if social care struggles to deliver services then demand for NHS care will increase further still.

The implications of this will need careful management, including both adapting future NHS workforce planning and training and ensuring long-term migration policy meets the NHS’ needs.
