Early Implementer Project • Use The Calderdale Framework to implement the SfH Career Framework (AHP staff) • Explore development of Level 4 (Assistant Practitioner) • Explore new ways of working Levels 6/7 (blurred boundary working) • Explore new learning programmes to support new ways of working
A Competence Based Career Framework More senior staff 9 Consultant practitioners 8 Advanced practitioners 7 Senior practitioners 6 Practitioners 5 Assistant practitioners 4 Senior assistants/technicians 3 Support workers 2 Initial entry – level jobs 1

Calderdale Framework – New Ways of Working ! Qualified staff: consider blurring professional boundaries Tasks mainly knowledge & skill based Allocate to Level 4 worker Tasks knowledge & skill based with protocols available Tasks mainly Skill & Rule based Delegate to Level 2/3 worker
Education Partners • University of Huddersfield • University of Bradford
OUTCOMES TO DATE FROM THIS PROJECT: • Level 4 role: work based learning (competencies) & educational requirement identified. • Level 6/7 role: work based learning (competencies) & educational requirement identified. • NOS based Job descriptions created. • Example of Nationally Transferable Roles (Assistant Practitioner in Orthopaedics) • Assistant Practitioner Posts secured in service. • Evaluation plan in place
Meeting National Standards • Core Standards for Assistant Practitioners(Skills for Health 2009) • Supervision, accountability & delegation of activities to support workers (Intercollegiate Information Paper 2006 CSP, RCSLT, BDA, RCN) • The National Education and Competence Framework for Assistant Critical Care Practitioners (DH 2008) • HPC (Standard 6)
Predicted Cost Benefit: Early Orthopaedic Discharge Service • Band 7 (pay point 3) = £16.66 per hour • Band 4 (pay point 3) = £ 9.84 per hour • Blurred Boundary working negates multiple band 7 visits saving £16.66 per hour. • Band 4 substitution where appropriate saves £6.82 per hour
Next Steps for The Calderdale Framework • Evaluate impact of Assistant Practitioner role • Evaluate impact of blurred boundary working • Implementing SfH Career Framework across CT&R Directorate (adult services) using The Calderdale Framework • Develop training programme for The Calderdale Framework Practitioners (to aid and quality assure diffusion)
