Learners: Supporting their involvement in Enabling Quality Surveillance

Health Education North West (HENW)’s monitoring of the quality of education and training in all North West placement and education providers also provides valuable information about the quality of care in healthcare providers by identifying areas of concern which impact on patient safety or service delivery. This information contributes to the wider Quality Surveillance processes in place in NHS England’s Area Teams locally in the region.Building on HENW’s ‘North West Clinical Placement Strategy’ and its commitment to providing safe and supportive learning environments through the North West’s ‘Placement Charter’ and ‘Dignity Promise’ there is greater focus on enabling and supporting healthcare learners to be involved in the Quality Surveillance process and raising of concerns in all healthcare providers to ensure excellence in learning and excellence in care.
