What is Coaching?

Coaching is one of the key approaches which aims to support leadership development. It is a method of developing an individual's capabilities using questioning techniques which enable the individual to become more self-aware, resilient and confident. Coaching is often perceived as the single most effective development opportunity that a leader in the NHS can access:

The relationship has a set duration

It is structured with regular scheduled meetings

Short term and focussed on specific development issues, issues goals and work

The coach does not need to have experience of the coachees role

The benefits of coaching

Research by Clutterbuck (1998), Whitmore (2009) and Hawkins (2011) shows that benefits of workplace coaching includes:

Useful resources for prospective applicants

Post-doctoral public health researchers seeking to apply to the NIHR for a personal award should be aware that in addition to the above, several other schemes run alternative competitions to similar timetables . It may be, depending on personal circumstances, that one of the below represents a more appropriate offer than the scheme described in detail on this page.

The Advanced Fellowship (AF) supports individuals undertaking research in any scientific discipline or sector than can demonstrate a contribution to improving health and/or care

The Advanced Local Authority Fellowship (ALAF) supports individuals (excluding doctors and dentists) employed within local authority settings to develop practitioner academic careers by undertaking health or care research whilst concurrently progressing their practice/policy careers

The Population Health Career Scientist Award (PHCSA) supports senior academics that are undertaking research delivered outside of NHS settings which aims to address the wider determinants of health.

Efficacy and Mechanism Evaluation (EME) and Advanced Fellowship (EME-AF) supports individuals that are conducting a large clinical study. Successful applicants will receive salary and research training and development through the Advanced Fellowship and research project funding through the NIHR EME programme.

Applicants are advised to consider carefully which postdoctoral award would best support their needs and are welcome to contact NIHR to discuss the postdoctoral opportunities further to support this decision.

Bridging Schemes

ICA Bridging schemes support health and care professionals (excluding doctors and dentists) to build on their previous academic training and to develop proposals for a pre or post-doctoral award, and take the next step in their clinical academic or practitioner academic career.

Applicants to the HEE/NIHR ICA Programme schemes must hold registration with one of the ICA approved regulatory bodies or have plans in place to hold the required registration by the proposed award start date.

ICA Bridging awards are managed by local HEE teams. Further details of the scheme and contact details for your local team are available from the HEE Clinical Academic Career web pages.

Mentorship Scheme

The ICA Mentorship Scheme offers individuals holding doctoral or post-doctoral ICA awards the opportunity for free one-to-one clinical academic career mentorship by an appropriate mentor.

The scheme is positively received, and recognised as providing a crucial layer of support to our aspirant clinical academic awardees. As a result, and following agreements between HEE, NIHR and Versus Arthritis (a merger of Arthritis Care and Arthritis Research UK) mentorship through the scheme is also available to nominated Versus Arthritis fellows.
The ICA Mentorship Scheme is currently administered by the University of the West of England, Bristol.

Information for prospective mentors and mentees

Mentoring is uniquely valuable to aspiring non-medical clinical academics and is afforded by the scheme through formalised and funded contact time with the most qualified individuals available.

Mentorship goes beyond the guidance afforded by a supervisor and acts to support the awardee through the challenges encountered during the development of a clinical academic career.

The scheme's mentors are recognised senior healthcare researchers and professional leaders. As such, they bring essential and unique sector knowledge, as well as an understanding of the leadership challenges that face clinical academic researchers from the non-medical healthcare professions.

The scheme administers:

A faculty of mentors comprising of senior healthcare researchers and professional leaders

One-to-one mentoring support for ICA Programme funded doctoral and postdoctoral awardees

Mentorship training

Training events and resources for mentees and mentors.

Accessing the scheme

All doctoral and post-doctoral ICA awardees are welcome to access mentorship through the scheme.

Prospective mentors or mentees requiring further information should contact o ur mentorship provision service at UWE by email on: icamentor@uwe.ac.uk.

Personalised care is based on a 'what matters to you' conversation, as opposed to what's the matter with you. It supports people with choice and decision-making; harnessing the expertise of people, professionals, and the health and care system, and provides a positive change in power and decision-making that enables people to feel informed, have a voice, be heard, and be connected to each other and the community in which they live. Personalised care is an enabler for key priorities of prevention, independence, choice, and decision-making across Derbyshire. It is a whole system, an age approach, and aims to enable people to live their best life; supporting the best start; staying well; ageing well and dying well.

Watch this video explaining the Personalised Care Model.

Patient preference is at the heart of person and family-centered care. Creating the space, time, and relationship for a "What Matters to You" conversation can be easy and involves three simple steps:

1. Asking What Matters

2. Listening to What Matters

3. Doing What Matters.

Watch this video showcasing what good Personalised Care looks like in action across Derbyshire.

The NHS Long Term Plan and Personalised Care

The NHS Long Term Plan states that people will get more control over their own health, and more Personalised Care when they need it (add reference). In response, the NHS has developed a comprehensive model of Personalised Care. Being equipped with the knowledge of Personalised Care and what it offers, can be explored through the six key components, which are:

1. Shared decision-making - this means what are my options? What are the pros/cons?

2. Enabling choice - this means where to go for tests? Information to make the right decision for me.

3. Social Prescribing - this means you can access the social prescribing link worker who will take a holistic approach to your health and well-being connecting you to community groups

4. Personalised care and support planning - this means recording decisions, and achievable plans on 'what matters to you as a whole person

5. Supported Self-Management - this means proactively identifying your existing knowledge, skills, and confidence in managing your own health and care.

6. Personal Health Budgets (PHB) - this means you will work with your health (and where relevant social) care team to create a bespoke package of care designed to support your health and well-being needs.

An Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Review

CAHPR recently underwent an independent review of its purpose, objectives and current structure. One thing which was identified in the review was a need for a clear and comprehensive EDI strategy for AHPs.

Health Education England (HEE) has funded a review project which will ensure that future CAHPR associated research and activity is representative, improves access to research, provides support for underserved populations and produces relevant, applicable and high quality research.

Project leads, Anita Atwal and Meera Sharma tell us the project aims and how to get involved.

What conversations are you feeling apprehensive about having? In this bitesize course, we're going to look at what makes a conversation courageous and how you can have successful conversations that make a difference.

Many of us work in the health and care system because we care about people and work to support them when they are having a difficult time. Most of the time we love it and it is hugely rewarding but other times it can be really difficult work.

There's always the pressure of time, resources, and different demands on you. But we also get to work with people at their best and their worst.It is working with people that can often make things hard. Sometimes a courageous conversation is needed but we don't always have them.

Find some time and space with a notebook to work through this reflective guide that will encourage you to feel empowered in facing and holding courageous conversations.

About the Promoting Careers in the Allied Health Professions programme

Volunteer outreach work in schools and other settings plays a huge role in raising awareness of the Allied Health Professions and inspiring people to consider careers in these important roles. In a context in which there are challenges to recruiting sufficient numbers of students to undergraduate Allied Health courses, this work makes a big difference to the future of these professions, as well as being a rewarding experience for practicing Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) looking to diversify their activities in support of their professions.

Promoting Careers in the Allied Health Professions is an elearning programme that comprises three elearning sessions created to support AHPs undertaking voluntary outreach work with young people and career changers, in schools or other settings. The resources teach learners about the context for outreach work and its importance, developing content that is relevant to different audiences, and delivering compelling content that will help to inspire the next generation of AHPs. The resources capture the expertise in AHP outreach developed by the professional outreach team employed under the ''Strategic Interventions in Health Education Disciplines' project, funded by the Office for Students (2018-21), and link closely with the 'I See The Difference' marketing campaign and website ( www.iseethedifference.co.uk ).

More information

The three sessions should be completed in numerical order. Learning outcomes from the sessions may be submitted to the Health and Care Professions Council as part of a CPD audit.

You are here

Educating the Health and Care workforce is all our responsibility whatever your role and wherever you work. Aligned to the emerging Health Education England Educators Strategy and other emerging professional and education career frameworks, this framework will support AHPs to develop as educators, supporting leaners at all career stages to deliver high quality, safe effective care. This work has been in development for a year, we are consulting on this now as colleagues tell us they would value the work now and we will continue to work closely as part of the multi-professional work to maintain alignment and help coproduce the overarching framework.

Our draft Allied Health Professions Education Workforce Capability and Career Framework is designed to support AHP Educators at every career stage within the context of multi-professional practice and education.

Your feedback is important and will be used to shape the next iteration.

AHP education is increasingly important and inextricably linked to sustaining the future AHP workforce. The contents are relevant to all professions, this work has been coproduced with the AHP community as parallel work was ongoing in other professions, our hope is that in time we will be able to look across the work and craft one approach together

Recognising education as one of four pillars (Practice, Leadership, Research and Education) of professional practice, this draft framework is important, timely and needed to promote the importance of education as an integral part of every AHP's professional responsibility and opportunity.

It establishes a set of principles to promote and recognise the professionalism of AHP education and to realise the potential of AHP educators, a structure to promote AHP education career routes to establish the idea of expert practice in AHP education and a move towards a national standard for AHP educators.

It seeks to be inclusive, empowering for all those involved in AHP education irrespective of job role, organisational/occupational setting and career stage.

- Guide to Practice-Based Learning (PBL) for Neurodivergent Students

This guide reflects the voices of those who are members of the neurodiverse community. The person, environment, and occupation performance model is an occupational therapy model that is reflected within this guidance. This model is holistic in that it recognises the impact the environment has on individuals' performance of occupations (Duncan, 2021). The guidance provides tips on reasonable adjustments, gives educators permission to be flexible and creative in their provision of the practice based learning experience and to keep the neurodivergent student in the centre of decision-making when addressing these adjustments.

- Allied Health Professional (AHP) practice placement sustainability Self-evaluation and improvement framework

The NHS requires more Allied Health Professional (AHPs) to meet service requirements that it will face over the coming years. To achieve this, we need more students preparing for registration as Allied Health Professionals. Consequently, additional practice placement opportunities are required for students to achieve the standards set by regulatory bodies, meet workforce demands and to ensure that the AHPs of the future are prepared for their professional roles in an ever-changing healthcare environment. Read our self evaluation and improvement framework and to support we have also produced this animation.

- Evidence-based Handbook to Practice Placements for Allied Health Professionals

The evidence-based handbook to practice placements for all allied health professionals has been designed as a product of a wider project 'Demystifying Placements'. The aim of the project was to collate and evaluate the research evidence behind innovative placements and different models of supervision and produce an easy access guide for students, educators, and organisations to support their implementation into practice education.

- Guide to Practice Based Learning for Allied Health Professional (AHP) Students in Education

This guide shows the possibilities and benefits of offering practice learning in education for AHP students. The ideas and examples show how practice placements in education can enable students to achieve their learning outcomes and enhance their professional skills and employability.

- Guide for late career AHPs supporting students in practice-based learning

The aim of this guide is to address the challenges identified in growing additional practice-based learning capacity across health and social care systems and private, voluntary and independent organisations by supporting employers to offer flexibility to those staff that are considering retirement or would like a change in career direction before leaving the health service.

- Technology Enabled Care Services practice learning Toolkit

The Technology Enabled Care Services (TECS) Toolkit for students, educators and universities across all Allied Health Professions, has been developed by Health Education England e-Learning for Healthcare (HEE e-LfH) and the University of Winchester.

The Toolkit has been developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic with students now undertaking some placements online.
- AHP guide to continuing practice learning while self-isolating
This guide is for educators and students who need to self-isolate and are therefore unable to attend in-person practice learning. It should be used to prepare and support educators, practice learning providers and students to continue their practice learning, to achieve learning outcomes and enhance professional skills and employability. The ideas may form an entire practice learning opportunity or may be used where a period of self-isolation is required during a placement.

- AHP Technology Enabled Care Services (TECS) Practice Based Learning Guide

This guide is for educators and students who already provide TECS or are considering ways of introducing innovative learning experiences to accommodate social distancing or students who are self-isolating.

The guide provides some solutions to information governance challenges to enable AHP students to safely access and effectively utilise TECS practice-based learning.
