- Carried
This Conference welcomes the work undertaken by UNISON to recruit and organise student health care professionals.
This Conference notes, however, that there is inconsistent practice between regions as regards whether a student health care professional should be allocated to a health care or higher education service group branch.
This Conference believes that there are clear organisational advantages to being in the Health Care service group, especially as regards support needed any for work placement issues.
This Conference calls on the Health Service Group Executive to:
1)survey current practice across regions on allocation of student health care professionals to service groups;
2)refer the matter to the National Executive Council’s Development and Organisation Committee, with the aim of establishing a consistent practice across the union which is in the best interests of student health care professionals.
