New Guidelines to Support Health and Care Professionals: The Follett Principles
6 Ionawr
Mae’r cynnwys hwn wedi dod o wefan allanol ac mae ar gael yn Saesneg yn unig.
This guidance is intended to support organisations in implementing the Follett Principles for regulated, registered health and care professional (HCP) clinical academics. Specifically, this document provides guidance on the principles of joint working between Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and organisations who provide services to the NHS.
HEIs and NHS organisations will already have processes and policies in place for medical and dental clinical academics. The purpose of this document is to encourage organisations to ensure the same principles are applied to HCP clinical academic placements.
Follett prescribes clear, distinct lines of accountability, jointly set out (by the HEI and NHS Trust/Board) and covers key areas for joint working between the two employers:
- joint recruitment and appointment
- jointly agreed induction
- joint job planning
- joint appraisal
- agreed processes for management of performance and conduct.
About the Follett Principles
The Follett Principles were developed to support joint working arrangements for senior NHS and HEI clinical academics. The key principle for NHS and HEIs stemming from Follett is “joint working to integrate separate responsibilities”.
