From its inception to the present day there has been continual growth in the range and diversity of professional development opportunities that have been created. Initially aimed at nurses and midwives, a growing number of other healthcare professions and other healthcare workers and students have also accessed and benefited from the educational opportunities available through this partnership scheme. Students who graduate rom the foundation degree for Assistant Practitioners, delivered by participating Further Education Colleges in the peninsula – ‘FdSc Healthcare Practice’ – will increase potential future demand for degree level partnership modules. Diploma level modules are already included as optional modules in the second year of this programme. Other Foundation Degrees in health and social care are being developed whose students may also look towards studying these modules. A particular success of the partnership scheme has been the development of a peer network of training and education staff in service providers throughout the peninsula. This network has created a community of like-minded people who have been committed to provide locally accessible courses to support service development and professional learning opportunities. Over the years, as the scheme developed, this experience and feedback has been used to inform the policies and guidelines shared by all our academic partners. Most notably these are reflected in the operational handbook known by the academic year of publication, currently ‘Partnerships 2009’. Academic partners now constitute significant providers of continuing professional development education that complements that offered by the Faculty of Health. This synergy has created a scheme that is responsive to local needs and emerging national developments. As with all forms of provision it faces ongoing challenges and resource pressures to which it continues to respond positively and constructively. The partnership workshop highlighted the strengths and opportunities available through the healthcare partnership scheme. It also identified a number of challenges and weaknesses, particularly in the resourcing and long-term strategy for academic partnerships in an ever-changing healthcare environment. What was clear from the feedback was the commitment and enthusiasm shown by academic partners to constructively address these issues and to continue to offer a first class learning facility. Annie Watts Programme Lead/Scheme Co-ordinator 4 Benefits of being an Academic Partner Through the systematic and responsive approach to academic partnerships the University of Plymouth has accredited a number of modules for healthcare providers that support service delivery and opportunities for staff development. Experience to date demonstrates that the scheme offers a number of mutual benefits. These include • • • • • • • • • • • Enhanced relationships and communications between the University and healthcare providers. Supporting healthcare delivery – modules can be designed to match specific service developments. Cost effective education – modules can be specifically tailored to healthcare provider needs and delivered locally. Responsiveness and flexibility to identified development needs – modules can be designed, accredited and delivered in a comparatively short period of time to match changing healthcare needs. Enhanced skills, competence and underpinning knowledge base of staff. Improved access to locally delivered professional development opportunities for healthcare staff. Increased opportunities for accredited multi-professional education and training. Academic recognition for accredited modules. The potential for additional module developments through the partnership scheme. A system of quality control and assurance for locally delivered courses. Encouragement of developments in the module subject area.
