NHS Employers welcomes £10 million investment in apprenticeships
N
HS Employers has welcomed health minister Simon Burns’ announcement of £10 million of new funding to create more apprenticeships in the NHS, which supports the coalition government’s commitment to expand the apprenticeship programme by at least 75,000 places.
The National Advisory Apprenticeship Committee (NAAC), which includes NHS Employers, Skills for Health and Unison, published a report to ministers today that recommended the development of the role and sustainability of apprenticeships.
Gill Bellord, director for core service at NHS Employers, said: “Apprenticeships have proved a successful way for trusts to develop the effectiveness of their current support workforce by giving them extra training
and developing their skills. Apprenticeships are also are an excellent way to engage with local communities and boost local economy.
“The new funding coupled with the other recommendations in the National Advisory Apprenticeship Committee report will provide a great opportunity for the NHS continue to support its workforce and respond changing service needs during a challenging period. NHS Employers is ready to support trusts in utilising this extra funding effectively.”
The Department of Health confirmed that the £10 million of funding, announced by Simon Burns MP at the NHS Employers annual conference Leading Workforce Thinking 2010, will pay for the creation of around 6,000 extra apprenticeships.
