  8. Emerging Themes from Preliminary Findings

  9. General • Desire to create a positive learning environment • Educational framework to guide learning and development • Awareness of learning and development opportunities • Structured programmes of induction • Educational opportunities for staff interested in working with children and young people

  10. Emerging Themes: General (2) • Partnership approach to learning and development: • individuals encouraged to be proactive • managers supporting, guiding and facilitating • Sharing ideas and good practice • Person-centred care and partnership working

  11. Administrative & Clerical Staff • Training mostly ‘on the job’ and often process driven • Need for more structured training and a real enthusiasm for understanding more about disability and disabling conditions, medical terminology, and for training related to communication and customer service • Supporting the development of A&C staff is vital for the retention, recruitment, quality of service provision and morale of staff who are on the front line, and often the first point of contact with service users

  12. Technical Staff • Lack of career structure • Wide range of roles, job titles and scope of practice • Need for more structured training • Training related to disability, disabling conditions and disease progression and a better understanding of anatomy and physiology and postural support • Formal qualifications and future recruitment • Specific technical skills

  13. Accreditation • Seen by many as essential to ensure the quality and validity of the training and provide tangible evidence of educational achievement • Most important to technical staff • Availability of SVQ assessors and verifiers restrictive in offering vocational qualifications

  14. Clinical Staff • Need opportunities to : • keep up to date • develop practice • extend their skills and scope of practice • network • attend specialist conferences, study days and courses • Some staff have clinical role but no ‘clinical’ training • Need to identify/develop programmes to support the development of clinical-related skills

  15. Community Staff • Communication and information • Communication and information • Communication and information • Need to increase awareness of the services offered by the WSSs • Current training for referrers is seen as ‘ad hoc’ • Important that such training is developed in partnership with community staff and that their learning needs are considered • Identified the need for tailored training resources and packages, including online resources

  16. Learning is a Shared Responsibility • “If you want to see change, be the change you want to see”

  17. NHS Education for Scotland • Special Health Board • Supporting improvements in patient care • By designing, commissioning and supporting the implementation of education and training
