Developing Specialist Networking

Back to all Motions

Conference
2006 Health Care Service Group Conference
Date
22 December 2005
Decision
Carried

This conference acknowledges the difficulties facing the more specialist staff in the NHS in various areas such as preparing job descriptions, knowledge and skills framework outlines and accessing information on career development and training and education opportunities.

Within trusts and individual branches such staff are often at a disadvantage compared to colleagues in more generic roles who are easily able to benefit from local networking and sharing good practice.

Conference calls upon the Health Service Group Executive to consider initiating a programme of national assistance or resources to provide specialist staff in the NHS with wider networking opportunities.
