What do you say about yourselves? The role of the Placement Development Network is to enhance healthcare learning experiences, to deliver excellence, choice and breadth beyond traditional boundaries to meet the needs of the future workforce. The role of the PEFs is to ensure the provision of high quality multi-professional learning environments for all healthcare students across UHSM and to support some placements across the voluntary and private sector. The role of the National Skills Academy for Health is to work with employers to ensure this vital sector of the workforce gets the training they need to do the job they love, creating and maintaining the high quality health service we all want. The primary role of the WBEF Network is to support Trainee Assistant Practitioners (TAPs) across the region. TAPs are colleagues working in health or social care who are training to become Assistant Practitioners. Their training includes the attainment of a two-year Foundation Degree at one of several universities across the region, plus the compilation of a portfolio of work-based learning.

The NHS belongs to the people It is there to improve our health and wellbeing, supporting us to keep mentally and physically well, to get better when we are ill and, when we cannot fully recover, to stay as well as we can to the end of our lives. It works at the limits of science – bringing the highest levels of human knowledge and skill to save lives and improve health. It touches our lives at times of basic human need, when care and compassion are what matter most.
