Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Education
  • Health Workforce Development
  • Continuing Professional Development

Background:

  • Post-registration education for health professionals is often commissioned by Workforce Development Confederations on behalf of NHS employers.
  • Workforce Development Confederations evolved from Education Consortia starting April 1, 2001.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review post-registration education contracts within the North and East Yorkshire Confederation.
  • To survey post-registration contracting practices across England.

Main Methods:

  • A review of existing education contracts.
  • A survey of contracting arrangements for health professional education.

Main Results:

  • Contracting arrangements often hindered the measurement of value for money for education purchasers.

  • Key issues identified included course relevance to clinical practice and staff accessibility due to release difficulties.
  • A new contracting model is proposed, linking payment to academic credit for better cost comparison.

    • Conclusions:

    • The proposed new contract model aims to enhance cost comparisons and foster partnerships between commissioners and providers.
    • Effective commissioning by Confederations requires addressing issues related to NHS employer involvement.
    • Shared risk between commissioners and providers is a feature of the new contracting approach.
