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).

Produced by Health Education England's (HEE) 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.

This project is a bespoke approach enabling clinical and non-clinical staff to consolidate and extend their Cumbria Learning & Improvement Collaborative (CLIC) leadership learning (see Background section).
