 Statutory & mandatory training as an issue is a priority for HRDs across the North West  NHS Constitution – Staff pledge “to provide all staff with access to appropriate training”  Need to ensure:  Efficiency & Effectiveness  Quality & Consistency  Compliance Why are we doing this?

Cost of training  Report by NHS PASA in 2009:  Total training spend across the NHS: £ 222,000,000 / Year  Savings by not duplicating training: £ 74,000,000 / Year  Core Skills Framework can help deliver:  Potential savings across the NW: £ 10,700,000 / Year  Potential savings for a NHS Trust: £ 200,000 / Year (Based on a 3,000 employees)

Quality of Training  Education Outcomes Framework - Still in draft (Health Education England will expect providers to meet)  Outcome 2 – Competent and capable staff  Outcome 4 – Excellence of education learning and development  Outcome 5 – Individuals and professional groups aligned to workforce demand

Time for change  Facing unprecedented change across the NHS  Can no longer afford to continue as is  Need to work collaboratively and smarter  If we can tackle statutory & mandatory training Opportunity to expand principles to other training areas
