Community Education Provider Networks (CEPNs) – Strategic Scoping Prompts HEEM has allocated £10,000 to each Primary Care Local Delivery Group to scope the potential future configuration of CEPNs in each county to achieve geographical coverage and strategically align with local health & care system transformation plans. We need to build the resilience and sustainability of the workforce in primary care and ensure we have people with the right skills coming through the education & training system who want to work in primary care. CEPNs could provide the vehicle through which to integrate primary care workforce planning and development for the new models of care outlined in the Five Year Forward View. We are asking Local Delivery Groups to carry out a baseline mapping exercise and to identify the criteria that will be used to inform the future number, size and location of CEPN hubs and spokes. A small task and finish group met on Wednesday, 11th March and identified the following aspects for inclusion in the scoping exercise in order to achieve a level of consistency across the five counties to enable HEEM to have sufficient data to develop an option appraisal for the East Midlands model. 1 2 Service Delivery/New Models of Care  Articulate the proposed CCG delivery models/locality hubs and share to develop a county level picture Education & Training  Map training & teaching practices – what capacity is available to train the future workforce? o GP Registrars o Medical Students & Foundation Doctors o Pre-registration nursing o Postgraduate/post qualification education delivery for other professional groups o GPs with special interest o Practice Nurse training o Advanced Clinical Practice  Mentors & Education Supervisors – location, age profile, etc We will also need to understand the current workforce profile and the workforce challenges across the local health economy and local delivery groups are asked to identify who is best placed to pull that information together. CEPNs have the potential to be part of the solution to these identified challenges and we are asking local delivery groups to develop an option appraisal for the configuration of hubs and spokes to have optimum impact. We are proposing that this work should be completed over a 3 month period (April – June 2015). The option appraisal will need to be agreed locally and will then inform HEEM investment planning in 15-16 and beyond.
