Help us plan the new BAPO learner webpage

🤔 Are you on a learning pathway to become a prosthetist orthotist? 

🤔 Do you support those learners as an educator or employer (of apprentices)?

As part of the NHSE programme of work, we’d love your thoughts about how to shape a new learner-focused page on BAPO’s website. 

The plan is that it will be a ‘go to’ page to help pre-registration learners easily access BAPO resources of particular relevance to them. It will be open access for everyone, not just BAPO student members.

💡 The focus will be on providing access to BAPO information and resources that add value to, rather than replicate, resources learners already access from their education provider, employer, or practice-based learning environments. Things that it’s appropriate for the professional body to provide to support their journey to joining the professional workforce.

🌟 The important question is what would you like to see included on the page? 🌟

Initial suggestions include providing easy access to:

  • ‘A day in the life of …’ blog posts from colleagues within the profession to offer inspiration
  • BAPO short courses, webinars, Teatime Talks & other virtual events
  • The BAPO YouTube channel
  • Other BAPO professional affairs and practice resources
  • The BAPO Mentoring Programme
  • The BAPO (2024) Career Development Framework 
  • The BAPO (2024) Practice-based Learning Framework for Pre-registration Learners
  • The BAPO (2024) Early Career Guidance Framework 
  • Resources to support your preceptorship journey as you transition from learner to new HCPC registrant 

🤔 What else would you suggest we include?

🤔 How can we make this new webpage as useful to pre-registration learners as possible? 

Please let us know what you think! 🙏

Email your suggestions to Jo Watson (jo@drjowatsonconsulting.com), who is leading the work to develop the new webpage on behalf of The Creative Health Alliance.

Skills For Health

The Primary Care & Community Services Career Framework developed as part of an Expert reference group has now gone live. Please share with your networks.

Skills for Health and NHS England have launched a survey on a new career framework that covers the range of non-medical roles in primary care and community services.

In light of the shift toward universal personalised care in England, the Primary Care & Community Services Multi-Professional Career Framework has been designed to help facilitate the development and expansion of the non-medical workforce which plays a crucial role in the delivery of joined-up, preventative care.

The development of the framework follows the Community Services Transformation Programme which found that out of hospital careers tended to be less attractive to newly qualified professionals due to a perceived lack of training, development and progression opportunities. By outlining clear career stages and progression routes, it is anticipated that new and improved career development opportunities will support the recruitment and retention of the non-medical primary care and community services workforce.

An expert reference group convened by Skills for Health and NHS England oversaw the development of the first iteration of the Primary Care & Community Services Multi-Professional Career Framework, and the views of stakeholders (including PCNs) are now being sought to help refine and improve the framework prior to its publication.

The survey is open until midday 25 October.

If there are any queries please let me know.
