Global Health Learning Outcomes Framework
Background
NHS England’s (NHSE) vision is to help improve the quality of life and health and care services for the people of England by ensuring the workforce of today and tomorrow has the right skills, values and behaviours, in the right numbers, at the right time and in the right place. Part of this work involves supporting NHS staff and organisations to engage in and learn from global health activity.
NHSE aims to support NHS staff to engage in global health activity throughout their careers. A set of resources and materials is being developed which will support NHS staff and organisations to understand, evidence and fully realise the benefits of engagement in global health. The creation of a Global Health Learning Outcomes Framework is a core part of this work.
For more information on the work of the Global Health Unit and to find out more about the benefits for the global activity please go to https://global.hee.nhs.uk/
NHSE have commissioned Skills for Health to develop the Global Health Learning Outcomes Framework to support this important work.
Purpose and Scope of the Framework
The delivery of the learning outcomes framework will be part of NHSE’s ‘global offer’ to NHS staff. It will support several key objectives.
The framework will:
- Support NHS staff to evidence the personal and professional development they gain from participation in global health activity.
- Help NHS managers and organisations to understand the benefits to their organisation if they support their staff to engage in global health activity.
- Allow the benchmarking of learning which takes place through engagement in global health activity and so improve consistency of the global health learning opportunities which are offered by different organisations to NHS staff.
- Support NHSE and stakeholders to continue to build an evidence base of the benefits of engagement in global activity for NHS staff and organsiations.
- Help NHS staff and organisations to engage more effectively in global partnerships so ensuring that they are of mutual benefit to all.
