Band 1-4 • Apprentices • NVQ new QCF qualifications derived from occupational standards • Foundation degree for associate/ assistant practitioners • Foundation degree should be mapped to the first two years of the practitioner training programme. • Generic curricula for the streams so could be delivered innovatively • Some specialised modules
Challenges for implementation • JIF funding disappears • Movement from AP role to practitioner training not practical (FD route 1 year only) ? Part time • Apprentice route to be examined • Trust priorities • Profession specific challenges
Practitioner training • Not funded 3 year BSc • ? Some funding for placement • Rotational 1st year • Placements- 10 ,15, 25 learning outcomes need to be delivered • Placements found by the university

Universities need to be sure the NHS committed to provide placements? • Profession specific challenges
Scientist training programme • Salary support band 6 • Nationally recruited –process information available • 3 year training scheme which includes an MSc • 4X 3month rotations with perhaps a 3 month academic top up • Gone out to tender for running the courses which should start in 2011

The Work in workshop • Implementation challenges- how do you think they could be solved in your areas? • Learning outcomes PTP yr 1- practical ideas how they could be delivered • Rotational requirements- How can they be achieved and how innovative can we be to ensure a good learning experience?
