Allied Health Professional Faculties

AHP Faculties play a key role in helping shape the next generation of AHPs by coordinating activities to support their supply, education and training. The AHP Faculty model provides the infrastructure to facilitate system-wide working between health and care providers and HEIs. To help achieve the objectives HEE have invested in 24 AHP faculty ‘test beds’ across England, aligned to an STP/ICS footprint (or equivalent).

Evidence Briefs

Produced by NHS England Workforce Training and Education (WT&E)'s Knowledge Management team, Evidence Briefs provide an overview of evidence from published reports, peer-reviewed journals, case studies, and much more. They cover key broad topics related to workforce and education in the NHS. They provide evidence-based background and context, encourage the use of available evidence throughout a piece of work, and prompt further discussion.

The complete list of briefs are available to download below, with more being added on a regular basis.

 

Event Overview: Attending the National Health and Wellbeing Conference

In this overview Polly James reflects on her learning after attending the National Health and Wellbeing Conference.

"On the 8th October 2019 I was grateful to be representing HEE working across the North West at ‘The National Workplace Health and Wellbeing Conference’ aimed at outlining the latest insights currently being used by public and private sector companies, to support employers in developing high quality health and wellbeing strategies."

Health Literacy Awareness Training

Health Education England in collaboration with the Community Health and Learning Foundation, developed bespoke health literacy awareness training materials aimed at health library and knowledge services (LKS) staff. Selected LKS staff in the North (and across England) went through an awareness and train the trainer programme to cascade this training to LKS colleagues across the region. In total, 66 people attended the full day’s awareness training and in total 111 people attended either full training or
shorter awareness workshops.

Health and Wellbeing Outreach Programme delivered by Undergraduate Learners

The Health and Wellbeing Outreach programme for undergraduate learners was funded by Health Education England (HEE). Universities in the North West of England were tasked with developing innovative ways their health and social care undergraduate students could
highlight issues around health and wellbeing in their local communities – particularly in school settings and offer an age appropriate health and wellbeing intervention.

Several North West universities took part, each developing different approaches:

Effective Networks

This eWIN Hot Topic outlines what the evidence says about leading and participating in effective networks in health and care environments. It will look at what is meant by a network and the difference between networks and communities of practice; what should be considered when starting a new network (and how to make it a successful one) and the potential pitfalls to avoid. It will also cover network leadership and explore the role technology plays in supporting networks to work across boundaries and organisations.
