HEE believes that it is highly unlikely that any other supplier will be able to provide the range of knowledge, expertise and experience that IBMS has, to deliver the above course for the following reasons: - 1. IBMS is the leading expert body for this workforce. 2. IBMS is the only organisation able to identify and contact all trainees on the Advanced Specialist Diploma in these areas. 3. IBMS is the only organisation who can adequately target the training grants at the appropriate trainees and Trusts in a relevant, timely and equitable way, which reduces attrition on, and maximises completion of, the Advanced Specialist Diploma in these programmes. 4. IBMS is the only organistation that can start to provide these training grants immediately.
