  1. Katie Enock National Workforce Programme Lead Steve Hajioff Lead for work stream: Development of Training Resources

  2. National Public Health Information and Intelligence Strategy Overall Aims • To develop progressive and sustainable improvements, continuing for the next ten years, in the availability and use of Public Health Information and Intelligence. • To provide the required vision, leadership and plans for delivering the national Public Health Information and Intelligence System. • Develop a framework to harmonise, coordinate and direct the work of different agencies in order to build such a system.

  3. Overall Objectives • To provide operational support to the Choosing Health delivery plan by making information and knowledge available to local communities to inform their decisions. • To meet the information and intelligence needs of key Department of Health and wider health-related Government policy objectives such as reducing inequalities in health, monitoring the public health function, achieving health literacy and tracking relevant Public Service Agreement targets locally and nationally

  4. Career Progression • Retrospective portfolio assessment framework developed and UKPHVR opened • Some resources available to support those on the Defined Specialist Support Programme • No existing prospective training for defined specialists (yet) • No prospective training for I&I career development (yet)

  5. New Initiatives • Practitioner regulation – scoping work • A common shows how/ knows how/ training & qualification framework developing • FPH - Part A examination • I&I Career framework (not a straight jacket)

  11. Core or Defined Competency? • Core competencies are those required for all disciplines. They may be at different levels for different disciplines but they are fundamental for effective public health. • Defined (non-core) competencies include competencies which are considered essential for I&I staff at different levels. • Competencies which might be seen as “desirable” on a job description are also defined competencies.

  12. Training (qualifications)?

  13. Group work this morning • Look at what has been done before • Does it make sense? • Are there things missing? • Things to think about • This is work in progress – capture the essence • The cube is a model only – it is not the end point • Health surveillance is also in the core • Do not get ‘hung up’ about AfC • Important to think about what we need to know as well as what we need to be able to do.

  14. Workshop Groups Review the competence and knowledge base for levels: Group 1 Levels 4, 5, 6 Group 2 Level 5, 6, 7 Group 3 Level 6, 7, 8 Group 4 Levels 7, 8, 9 Review the training for each level Group 5
