Workstream Aims

In order to deliver contemporary educational programmes that facilitate the development of health and social care professionals who are prepared to meet the complex needs of the users of services, all key stakeholders involved in the provision of health care education are required to involve relevant users of service in the planning, delivery and assessment of curricula. CETL4HealthNE aims 'to foster curriculum development for employability in the modernised health care service' and clearly recognises that in order to achieve this healthcare professionals need to be prepared to meet the expectations and needs of the people receiving their services and ensure that they are Fit for Purpose, Fit for Practice as well as Fit for Award . As part of its vision, CETL4HealthNE aspires to 'energise and inspire an integrated approach to curriculum innovation for healthcare across its stakeholders'.

The overall aim of the workstrand is to mainstream the involvement of people with experience in the development, delivery and assessment of curriculum. This will facilitate the preparation of health care professionals who will routinely involve users and their carers in decisions regarding their health and social care in order to meet their individual needs and the needs of their communities.
