What works? • Working on a specific issue or problem • Support from a SCN, Senior AHP or Practice Educator/Practice Education Lead • Help to navigate the site linked to the specific issue • Using EP in relation to KSF/PDP • Finding the time to learn and reflect together as a team • Buy-in from senior management • Sharing ideas about how EP is being used
So what impact has there been? • For Band 5s and 6s • For SCNs and Senior AHPs • For Practice Educators and PELs • Across Health Boards
Going forward • Releasing time to learn • Some health boards have to catch up • Focus on practical improvements and team development • The role of PEs and PELs • The role of SCNs and Senior AHPs
