Description

This post is available on a Fixed Term/Secondment until the end of October 2023.

The National Reform Portfolio consists of several programmes, this post will be instrumental in delivery of the distribution of medical specialty training posts programmes, management of the expansion of specialty training posts programme, and all the enabling functions for these workstreams such as creating educational capacity and workforce transformation.

These are co led programmes with NHS England and involve working in collaboration with our key stakeholders to tackle workforce issues and health inequalities that impact on patient outcomes.

The Addressing Health Inequalities:
Distribution of Medical Specialty Training Programme is co-led by Health Education England (HEE) and NHS England (NHSE).

The workstream commenced in 2017 and was endorsed by HEE's board in 2020.

Both the NHS Long Term Plan 2019 and the NHS Interim People Plan 2020 acknowledged this key piece of medical education reform work, including the Chief Medical Officer's Annual Report in 2021.

The main purpose of the programme is to ensure that there is equitable distribution of HEE-funded (tariff) specialty training posts and subsequent funding which aligns with population need to help address health inequalities across England.

Where doctors train can often equate to where they settle, and therefore the location of training posts can have a large impact on both the current service provided to patients but also supplying the workforce of the future.

This post will support a broad programme of work that seeks to maximise the value of public investment in medical careers through a range of individual workstreams, ensuring that public money is spent in line with population weighted healthcare need.

HEE provides leadership for the education and training system.

It ensures that the shape and skills of the future health and public health workforce evolve to sustain high quality outcomes for patients in the face of demographic and technological change.

HEE ensures that the workforce has the right skills, behaviours and training, and is available in the right numbers, to support the delivery of excellent healthcare and drive improvements through supporting healthcare providers and clinicians to take greater responsibility for planning and commissioning education and training.

Our ambition is to be the best organisation of our type in the world by living our values every day.

Our Core Values are that everyone feels valued and respected and are included and involved in everything that affects them; are trusted to make decisions with clear reasons in order to be empowered to deliver; are committed to clear, effective communication, which is transparent and open when sharing information; takes pride and has integrity in everything we do and recognises that everyone has a significant contribution whilst taking personal responsibility and accountability for actions and behaviours.
