  3. MD Update – National (1) Widening Participation Strategy HEE has launched the national Widening Participation Strategy for consultation The strategy sets out five key goals which include: Improving the collection and monitoring of  data related to WP activity Supporting more research  to explore the needs of  underrepresented groups Stimulating more collaborative models for outreach support between the NHS and education providers The consultation will run until 30 September 2014 Shape of Caring Review - Call for Evidence The Shape of Caring Review will explore whether current arrangements for education and training of nurses and care assistants will be fit for purpose over the next 10-15 years. The call for evidence will learn from good practice across the UK. Further information on the review and a template to provide evidence is available at http://hee.nhs.uk/2014/07/31/shape-of-caring-review-call-for-evidence/. The closing date for evidence to be submitted is 17 September 2014

  4. MD Update – National (2) Care Certificate The Care Certificate (Cavendish) which sets out the proposed minimum standards and competencies for Health Care Support Workers is currently being field tested with a range of employers across health and social care nationally The purpose of the testing is to ascertain that the content and delivery of the Care Certificate is effective and fit for purpose. 19 organisations across the NW are currently reviewing and testing the guidance, and advising of potential implications that will need to be considered prior to national roll-out The emerging issues in the NW include: Positive recognition of the need and value for a set of standards. Agreement that the proposed standards are relevant for all HCSWs although they are currently viewed as too hospital focused More guidance about the assessment burden and implications with more flexibility being around timescales for completion Full implementation is anticipated to go live in March 2015.

MD Update – Regional (2) Urgent & Emergency Care Programme Following the appointment of a regional Programme Lead (Suzanne Hughes) and an initial analysis of the current position, three major themes have been identified: Need for greater connectivity in the NW with activity and developments nationally Urgent to medium term solutions required to manage and improve the Emergency Department crisis Longer term review of urgent care provision across the whole system needed Consideration at the LETB Board in August – with more detailed discussion to take place at the LWEG meetings in September/October Key actions include: Establishment of a regional Steering Group and engagement with LWEGs to ensure local focus on geographical priorities Development of a specific workstream to address the current ED crisis Mapping of wider issues across primary and community care Development of a wider programme of work focussing on Urgent and Emergency Care across the system

  8. MD Update – Regional (3) Lead Employer Contract in Greater Manchester and Cumbria and Lancashire The current contract expires on 31 March 2015 and therefore HENW is now putting the contract out for re-tender for three years to support the move to one lead employer across the North West by 2018. Education Placement Agreements Manchester Medical School has written to its placement providers to clarify their expectations around the quality of education HENW is writing to Chief Executives in support of this and confirming that MMS will act on our behalf in assessing the quality of placements Providers relying on education support from other organisations, such as teaching hospitals, must ensure that they formally establish these or invest in alternative arrangements to fulfil their quality obligations
