Academy report shows how Scottish training maps on to STP and PTP
The Academy have published the report of a joint project with NHS Education for Scotland which compares the curricula and training programmes’ content for delivered in Scotland against the learning outcomes for the Practitioner Training Programme and the Scientist Training Programme established by Modernising Scientific Careers.
NHS Education Scotland (NES) Healthcare Science commissioned the Academy for Healthcare Science to carry out a piece of work to map curricula and training programmes’ content for those delivered in Scotland against the learning outcomes for the Practitioner Training Programme and the Scientist Training Programme of Modernising Scientific Careers.
The full report shows that there is good correlation but there are some differences in the programme learning outcomes. The report could help NES support individuals preparing for equivalence and could also help individuals preparing for equivalence, to identify and address gaps in learning outcomes where they exist.
The project has been helpful in opening up discussion and facilitating dialogue across NES, Programme Providers and the AHCS.
