Description
NHS England (formerly Health Education England (HEE - the Commissioner)) will be commencing a Market Engagement Event for the delivery of the following offers:
1. Core module (offered at level 6) which will act as a refresh of core learning disability knowledge, skills, and core values.
2. Enhanced module (offered at level 6) to the higher level of complexity of clinical skill set needed to achieve, rather than a higher level of academic skills. It will enable learning disability nurses to increase their knowledge and skill set in specialist areas of learning disability care.
The achievement of both Core module and Enhanced module will together lead to the awarding of a Postgraduate Certificate level award, (at level 6) which will be titled as the 'Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) award 001'.
This will be in the form of a CPD for learning disability nurses, enabling nurses at all levels of practice to develop their knowledge and capabilities in caring for people with a learning disability.
These offers will provide a nationally standardised and recognised education programme that will set the expectations for effective and safe practice. As part of the All England plan for Learning Disability nursing which was launched in 2020 by CNO Ruth May, a plan which was initiated in order to provide a structure to ensure the development and expansion of the learning disability nursing workforce.
This plan has four themes:
• Attract
• Retain
• Develop
• Celebrate
