The workshops hosted in 2013 were: Children’s Health, Maternity and New born, Mental Health, Learning Disabilities, Prevention and Primary Care and Planned Care.

Commissioning Events

(Aug – Sept) A series of professional focused meetings are held to extrapolate relevant details from the discussions, workforce plans and national drivers to inform the decisions on the numbers to commission for the future workforce and where appropriate the type of course e.g. Bachelors or Masters level. The attendees at these sessions participate in a robust discussion, prior to the decision being taken to the governing body for ratification. From this point the HEIs are engaged in the discussions on implementing the outcomes of the process.
