Enterprise Minister Matthew Hancock has announced £4.36 million of joint government and industry funding to improve skills for the NHS’s 600,000 support workers.
The £1.96 million government funding comes from its Employer Ownership of Skills Pilot (EOP) fund. It was awarded following a tender from a partnership of public, private and third sector employers working with the NHS, to invest in the skills of their vital support staff. They are matching the government’s funding with £568,000 of cash investment and £1.8 million of in-kind contributions, totalling £2.4 million.
The money will be used to establish a new national infrastructure for skills provision, directed by employers themselves, to bring thousands of NHSsupport workers up to a common high standard, and to maintain these standards for future workers. Employers in the project include University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust and its partners.
