Why a robust learning and education plan matters
A robust learning and education plan ensures learning is purposeful, consistent, and aligned to real needs. It helps build the right skills and knowledge across the workforce, supporting individuals to perform confidently and services to adapt and improve.
By setting clear priorities and learning pathways, it makes best use of time and resources, supports quality and safety, and helps demonstrate the impact of education on practice and outcomes. Further guidance on assessing and developing the skills of your workforce can be found within national educational resources, which provide structured tools to identify current learning needs and plan educational requirements of AHP teams, Advanced Practice and Trainee roles
