CLINICAL EDUCATION<br />
& TRAINING INSTITUTE<br />
Building Capacity and Governance<br />
Participants were asked to consider opportunities to build capacity for education and training of<br />
staff in LHD and Specialty Networks. Participants identified a number of key elements to support<br />
such work:<br />
Resources<br />
• Stocktake of resources -What do we have? How do we use it?<br />
• Identifying and using existing resources and networks (e.g. professional bodies, universities)<br />
• Avoiding duplication -modify existing resources<br />
• Harnessing teleconferencing and simulation resources<br />
Collaboration between LHDs and stakeholders<br />
• Providing access to resources (common website/platform to store and share resources and<br />
minimize duplication, share success stories of business cases where resource funding was<br />
obtained, set standards around intellectual property so materials can be shared)<br />
• Consistency of mandatory training and access to records across LHDs and Speciality Networks<br />
• Utilisation of existing networks to promote and support interdisciplinary research<br />
• Improving utilisation of IT (e.g. CIAP, webcasting, support and access)<br />
• Linking with universities and TAFE<br />
Student education<br />
• Better collaboration between universities and <strong>NSW</strong> Health to improve the experience for<br />
students on placement<br />
• University funding for placements could lead to protected teaching time<br />
• Identifying opportunities for conjoint appointments/funded educator positions with universities<br />
to support student clinical placements<br />
Management support<br />
• Collaboration with CETI and other sectors inside/outside of <strong>NSW</strong> Health to advocate for the<br />
needs of allied health<br />
• Development of best practice tools to support education and training<br />
• Improving local governance standards (e.g. CPD as a standing agenda item at team meetings)<br />
Develop culture of lifelong learning<br />
• Promoting importance of contributing to CPD<br />
• Developing educational skills of clinical staff<br />
• Facilitating efficient transfer of information and shared learning between practitioners<br />
• Harnessing informal education (e.g. email chat groups, communities of practice, sharing via<br />
social media)<br />
Educator support<br />
• Opportunities to further develop skills and qualifications (e.g. Graduate Certificate in Adult<br />
Education)<br />
• Protected time for their own education needs<br />
