4. Community Education Provider Network (CEPN) definition: A group of primary care providers who share and coordinate workforce training placements and undertake multidisciplinary education to develop the existing workforce. Background • Health Education England (HEE) recognises the workforce challenges in primary care and the need for a wider multi-professional clinical workforce. The introduction of Community Education Provider Networks (CEPNs) is the start of that development. • HEE have established 3 pilot sites; West Suffolk, Great Yarmouth & Waveney and Essex.

5. West Suffolk • Professor John Howard invited bids for a share of the national money to set up a CEPN Pilot site and asked West Suffolk if they were interested. • Ross Collett, Ed Garratt and Dr Janet Rutherford developed the bid . • The overall vision is that the West Suffolk CEPN would be the first step towards developing one of the first ‘Learning and Teaching systems’ in the NHS – which makes the pilot unique. Background Discussion: What leadership skills are required to submit a bid?

9. HEEoE recognises the workforce problems in primary care; our Board made supporting the transformation of primary care to a wider clinical service delivered at scale a key objective before the publication of the Five Year Forward View. A key requirement is a wider multi-professional clinical workforce, trained in primary care. Currently GP training occurs in about 32% of training practices; nurse training occurs in a much smaller percentage. In order to develop clinical staff for the primary care of the future, a wider range and number of staff must be trained in primary and community care. We believe that this can only be achieved through excellent local relationships and a partnership approach with all stakeholders; local providers, NHS England and Clinical Commissioning Groups, local representative structures such as Local Medical Committees, Universities and secondary care providers. Primary care in the future will need a new system of coherent, locally managed but centrally assured educational governance eventually encompassing all training and education in primary care. Our introduction of Community Education Provider Networks (CEPNs) is the start of that development.
