Skills Passport for HealthJohn Herring

Programme Director

This brief

• Background to the Skills Passport• What is the Passport?• Development of a national statutory & mandatory skills framework• Benefits to individuals• Benefits to employers• Programme status• Key messages

Approach …

RCN Congress 2011

“The Skills Passport … will save us time. Time doing things over and over and over again.

It will save our employers money. Money that they have to spend on training us again and again and again because they are not sure that the training we’ve had previously has reached the required standard.

It’s brilliant! I urge you to support this resolution.”

Professor Dame Betty Kershaw

– Identity– Work history– Training record– Evidence of competence– Other info

• Verifiable / verified• Portable across UK

– NHS and non-NHS– Clinical and non-clinical– Permanent, contract, temporary &

volunteers– All four UK countries

• Based on nationally agreed training and skills frameworks

Development of a national statutory & mandatory skills framework

• Being developed separately in 4 regions• Creation of one common framework • Nine core subject areas

– Fire Safety – Moving and Handling– Conflict resolution– Equality, diversity and human rights– Resuscitation– Health, safety and security– Infection prevention and control– Safeguarding children– Safeguarding vulnerable adults

Consultation underway

• 1st Draft UK version out for comment – 4 W Mids, NW, Lon & S Cen only

• E-survey• Engagement with expert / regulatory bodies• Engagement with Countries & Regions

Early consultation results (final report out shortly)

• Strong initial response – 850 responses • Of those who had moved jobs on the past 5 years:

– Unnecessary duplication of training• 78% have personal experience• 85% know people who have

– Inconsistent training standards• 86% agree• 92% agree it should be standardised

– Concept of training/skills portability• 95% agree

– I trust the training given in other orgs• 29% agree

– Single UK org should be responsible for the framework• 93% agree

– Agreement with the nine Stat / Man areas?• Average 92% agreement

Benefits to Individuals

• Portability of skills• Reduced duplication of training

– freeing-up staff time– reducing frustration

• Easier movement to and between jobs, with faster pre-employment checks

– university to employer– from NHS to private sector, and vice-versa– between jobs in different UK countries

• Reduced refresher training where unnecessary• Potential to assist with recording Prep for NMC

• Reduced duplication of training • Particularly Stat & Man• Assessments vice automatic refresher training • Free up learning & development capacity

• Quicker pre-employment checks • Reduced administrative burden• Quicker to hire new staff

• Better visibility of workforce skills• Better compliance• Easier matching of staff skills to patient needs

• Significant savings• “Average (3,000 strong) employer should save £225k / year” (but this

may be very conservative)• Potentially reduces insurance costs

Questions?

As part of my rotation I attended four IV courses in a six week period, all delivered by the same tutor.”
