Learning Disability Nursing Enhanced Professional-Market Engagement(NHS England)
Notice Description
NHS England (NHSE - the Authority) will be commencing a Market Engagement for a nationally consistent programme to support the development and retention of Learning Disability Nurses.
Lot Information
Lot 1
NHS England (formerly Health Education England (HEE - the Commissioner)) will be commencing a Market Engagement Event for the delivery of the following offers:
1. Core module (offered at level 6) which will act as a refresh of core learning disability knowledge, skills, and core values.
2. Enhanced module (offered at level 6) to the higher level of complexity of clinical skill set needed to achieve, rather than a higher level of academic skills. It will enable learning disability nurses to increase their knowledge and skill set in specialist areas of learning disability care.
The achievement of both Core module and Enhanced module will together lead to the awarding of a Postgraduate Certificate level award, (at level 6) which will be titled as the 'Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) award 001'.
This will be in the form of a CPD for learning disability nurses, enabling nurses at all levels of practice to develop their knowledge and capabilities in caring for people with a learning disability.
These offers will provide a nationally standardised and recognised education programme that will set the expectations for effective and safe practice. As part of the All England plan for Learning Disability nursing which was launched in 2020 by CNO Ruth May, a plan which was initiated in order to provide a structure to ensure the development and expansion of the learning disability nursing workforce.
This plan has four themes:
* Attract
* Retain
* Develop
* Celebrate
For more information about the plan and work already completed as part of the plan can be found on the learning disability nursing website Learning Disability Nurses' Forum (squarespace.com
In accordance with the Care Act 2014, NHS England (formerly Health Education England (HEE - the Commissioner)) the leadership of all healthcare education and training for those employed by the NHS and for those seeking NHS employment. We also has statutory obligations for the quality of the services which it funds and for the safety and protection of students and patients.
In line with this mandate and as part of the development of the All England plan, listening exercises were undertaken with learning disability nurses, to ascertain the core areas of developmental need required by the profession. A key finding was the need for the development and implementation of a nationally standardised CPD offer for learning disability nurses, which would not only serve to provide a refresh of core learning disability nurse skills and knowledge, but which would also provide additional skills and knowledge development offer covering three specialist areas of learning disability nursing.
Whilst this initial offer has partially been completed with the development of an online product, a link to which is below, we are now seeking partners to work with us to build on this initial product to meet the CPD requirements of the learning disability nurse profession.
