Whose Responsibility Is It to Develop and Extend Practice Education Beyond Professional Training?
Keywords:
practice education, governance, supervision, inter-professional workingAbstract
Practice education has historically focused on the development of learners’ skills in the prequalification period. This article argues that generic skills exist which could be extended to the development of skills in other qualified professional staff and in direct care staff who may lack professional qualifications. It points to the crucial link between education, supervision and governance and notes the absence of much good practice. It argues that commissioners of services may need to be educated in the contribution these skills can make to high-quality health and social care provision.
