UK’s first ever Core Skills and Training Framework for Health

Skills for Health is advancing its development of a core skills framework for statutory and mandatory training across the UK health sector, building on work already undertaken in England in the London, North West, South Central and West Midlands regions. A core framework will offer the health sector common guidance and standards which should be helpful to organisations in guiding minimum standards in this key area of learning activity for all health sector staff.

A first stage consultation on the demand and support for a Core Skills Framework has just been completed and we are pleased to present the report. With the largest ever response seen for an electronic consultation supported by Skills for Health, initial analysis, confirms strong support for the initiative, with many respondents recognising the need for standardisation of core statutory and mandatory training.
