Health Functional Map

Tools Login

The Health Functional Map is a structure that orders National Workforce Competences (NWC) and National Occupational Standards (NOS) into logical functional groupings.

The map can be followed from broad functional areas through to more detailed functions to enable you to find specific NWCs and NOS, and add them to your profiles.   

Our online Health Functional Map tool can be searched for the competences needed either on an individual level or for a whole team across a number of functions which include:

  • Assessment 
  • Promotion and protection 
  • Education and learning 
  • Management and administration

Once competences have been located they can be saved into lists. Our other online tools can then be used to:

  • Carry out role design or redesign. Build up competences into a role profile, or a job description and develop a draft NHS KSF outline
  • Devise a workforce plan. Create a team or service profile/list from which you can then develop a number of role profiles/lists
  • Create competence based service design. Create profiles and lists on a larger scale, so you can design a service from scratch, based on your ‘ideal’ workforce.
