Trust Audit of Progress
CPD Funding for
|
Only two returns were received by end of the meeting. Progress was slow or embryonic.
NP had prepared this spreadsheet to get a bottom up understanding of how much funds HCS got through SHA CPD funding stream. It had been circulated to Physiological & Med Physics groups but not Life Sciences. Given the difficulties of funding of CPD this was an important baseline indicator
CPD funding will be a significant area for Provider Skills Networks

All to return proformas by April 8th

HEI Status in Yorkshire & Humber and Nationally
|
The position in Yorkshire & Humber for PTP in 2011 was fairly clear but STP provision was still uncertain whilst curricula were awaited and the tender process firmed up. At this point we know that Hallam do not wish to provide PTP at all but are discussing provision of STP for Life Sciences with Leeds. Bradford will run Life Science & Genetics PTP in 2011.They are also waiting for news on the Clinical Engineering PTP. Hull are awaiting outcome of STP provision but are talking with Bradford..Leeds was looking into provision of Physiological Sciences and Medical Physics
DeMontford are going for several of the PTP curricula which is reassuring for STH.

Curriculum Update
|
The STP curricula were released on 20th January 2011 and are available on:
http://www.networks.nhs.uk/nhs-networks/msc/network-curricula
They are still subject to further modification by Professional bodies and writing team but are sufficiently robust for the HEI’s to judge content for STP provision
There has been specific correspondence relating to Neurophysiology
