Recommendations for Health and Social Work (Finch Committee)
The health related SCs should: (1) have as primary audience the ‘organisational unit’ to maximize influence on practice and impact on change also continue to reflect the needs of individual practitioners, professional bodies, subject associations and other relevant stakeholders; and support their key contacts in engaging with subject based senior managers in their HEIs
The health related SCs should: (2) maintain a clear profile and programme of activity throughout the four countries of the UK further develop their generic and thematic approach to ensure support of all disciplines, particularly Health Sciences and Practice, which is supporting a large and complex range of disciplines. provide support to the context of practice-based learning.
The health related SCs should: (3) not spread their resources too thinly, bearing in mind the role of other organisations engage in policy issues, in ways in which their expertise is directly relevant, eg re the development of the workforce, on the basis of their expertise in learning and teaching, and related research.
Social Policy and Social Work (SWAP) should continue to operate as a separate subject centre but build on existing collaborations to ensure relevant joint activity on social care matters
A federal model should be developed consisting Health Sciences and Practice and Medicine, Dentistry & Veterinary Medicine The establishment should take place over 2 years and should take the form of a number of key stages
key stages (1) The delegation of circa 15% of both core budgets to joint work The identification of a single Chair for both advisory boards Increased cross membership of the advisory boards
key stages (2) The creation of a common brand and name A single centre, with two nodes (King’s College London, and the University of Newcastle) The movement towards the federal model should include a single Advisory Board within two years
Subsequent Federal discussions: Joint meeting of the HEA Subject networks 4th November 2004 Subject Centres Away day 10th & 11th May 2005 Joint meeting of the Advisory Boards 26th October 2005
Agreed: Collaboration only if the outcome is better Long list of ideas on how we might collaborate
A scale of collaboration drawn up: Strategic Structural and systematic Proactive (projects / network) Leadership on given area by one Centre with continuing consultation Leadership on given area without continuing consultation Sharing information (pre / post activity) Zero (decide not appropriate / by default)
Examples ofStrategic approach: Branding Evaluation Joint planning/reporting Dissemination strategy
Achievements: Joint projects: EIPEN, MHHE Cross representation on Advisory Boards Mutual review of miniprojects and workshop proposal L&T Advisors work as team HEALTH branding over HSAP & MEDEV Now Joint Advisory Board
