Education for Health have developed a tailored programme to help give you an understanding of the operating and decision-making structure of the NHS
Do you find it frustrating navigating such a complex organisation when trying to talk with the right people and departments?
Do you find it a challenge explaining how the NHS works to new team members, staff and colleagues?
The NHS is a vast and complex organisation and for anyone engaging with it as a supplier or partner, or entering into employment in it, it can appear daunting.
However, whether you are a corporate business or new member of staff there is a solution available.
Education for Health is a leading charity playing an integral role in enabling nurses and healthcare professionals to deliver the best possible care for people living with long term conditions, through our clinically led education, training, research and support resources.
We work closely with the NHS and have developed an overview of how the NHS is structured and how finances flow through the system to patient care. Using this knowledge, we have created our Introduction to the NHS programme, comprising of three core modules plus one optional. These bite sized sessions are designed to be accessed at any time or location, to fit in with people’s schedules and your departments needs.
