Health Education England

The Government have established Health Education England to work towards providing national leadership and strategic direction for high quality education, training and work force development in the national health service. A key requirement of the Government’s mandate to Health Education England is to ensure the development of an NHS work force with the right behaviours, values and skills to deliver quality patient care and be responsive to the diverse and changing needs of patients and the public.”
(Dr. Poulter, 17 June 2013 Hansard, House of Commons)

Health Education England (HEE) works across seeven local areas. Thames Valley and Wessex sit in the South East region. There are five Postgraduate Medical Education teams (covering primary care) including Thames Valley and Wessex.

The HEE Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) programme from HEE and the Higher Education Academy (HEA) was announced in October 2013 to oversee the launch and development of a TEL hub. The hub will be the first port of call for TEL information and resources which will focus on simulation, e-Learning and m-Learning (Mobile Learning).

Follow developments of the TEL hub here or follow on twitter @HEE_TEL. There are two TEL Forums in the South region, (Southwest and Thames Valley &  Wessex). The hubs act as an operational group or community of practice for sharing knowledge and activities in eLearning.
