  1. The Proposed MSc in Maxillofacial Prosthetics David Allen FIMPT Carol Winter MIMPT

  2. Terminology • MSC – Modernising Scientific Careers • MSc – Master of Science • Practitioner – Career framework level 4? • Scientist - Career framework level 7?

  3. The Department of Health: • Incorporated us within Modernising Scientific Careers (MSC) • Removed funding for existing diploma course • Promised fully funded training • Introduce a new career structure

  4. Break down roles • Establish generic aspects of HCS professions • Enable vocational entry routes to HCS professions

  5. Education and Training Programmes Within MSC • Associate /Assistant • Practitioner Training Programme (PTP) – undergraduate level • Scientist Training Programme (STP) – postgraduate entry, pre-registration training • Higher Specialist Scientific Training (HSST) – doctoral level

  6. IMPT Objectives • GDC recognised Dental Technology qualification as course entry requirement • Recognised MSc level knowledge and skill requirement • No separation of technical and clinical professionals

  7. Factors That Have Influenced The DH • National Audit Group for Science and Technology (NAGST) • National Occupational Standards (NOS) • Agenda for Change

  8. National Occupational Standards (NOS) Scoping Tool • Most professions = 5-6 NOS • Maxillofacial Prosthetics = 12 NOS • We would not fit Modernising Scientific Careers template • Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) recognised us as MSc level profession

  9. We Do Not Fit The MSC Template Single Specialism Training 1 Year 2 Years 2 Years Rotation Amongst Specialties Core Generic Training

  10. Definition (from CSO Conference) • Scientist: Complex scientific and clinical role. High risk, low volume activities which require highly skilled staff able to exercise clinical judgment about complex facts and clinical situations. Interacts with patients. • Consultant/Highly Specialist Scientist In-depth, highly complex role. Equivalent to medical consultant role, requires clinical judgement, scientific expertise and leadership in direct patient care.

  11. So What Has happened? • The DH has given us a relatively free hand to create our own MSc • IMPT working with Manchester Metropolitan University and King’s College London • Questionnaire to scope practice • Develop course curriculum

  12. Where we are now? • Course curriculum agreed on • Core skills obtained from questionnaire and all comments taken on board where feasible • Curriculum written by educational establishments • Input from IMPT • Prepared education manual and preparing training manual for submission to DH

  13. What’s Next? • Submission of training and educational manual for approval • Selection of educational establishments • Accreditation and selection of Units • Training of the trainers • Students apply centrally • March 2012 • First cohort start September 2012

  14. Educational Centres Training Centres ? • MMU • Kings • 10 students per year

  15. Health Education England (HEE) 21/07/2011  Health Education England (HEE) will provide sector-wide leadership and oversight of workforce planning, education and training in the NHS. It is likely that Health Education England (HEE) will be established as a Special Health Authority from April 2012 and will operate in shadow form, until it takes over its full responsibilities from April 2013. http://www.nhsemployers.org/HealthWhitePaper/EducationAndTrainingConsultation/Pages/HealthEducationEngland.aspx

  16. to ensure the development of healthcare provider-led networks • to promote high-quality education and training that is responsive to the changing needs of patients and local communities • to allocate and account for NHS education and training resources • to absorb some of the responsibilities of SHAs in relation to strategic workforce planning and oversight of education and training • to take over some functions that are currently carried out by the  workforce directorate and nursing and medical directorates of the Department of Health • to take over some of the duties of Medical Education England and the Professional Advisory Boards that advise the DH.

  17. Accreditation • Important to be a part of this process - • IMPT acting in an advisory role to DH • Involved in the setting of criteria for accreditation and selection process • Academy is in its initial stages Met with HCS Academy’s acting CEO, Steve Barnett, to discuss accreditation of training units

  18. What should you be doing now? • Contact your SHA • register your interest • Ensure you meet the criteria • See copy of training and educational manual for details of curriculum • Form consortia if appropriate • Visit www.impt.co.uk

  19. Funding/Costs • Set-up costs provided to units • Train the trainer provided • Placement fully-funded at band 6 for 3 years • Host unit/student to pay travel costs • Controversial

  20. National Recruitment • Meeting with Val Davison to discuss the selection procedure • Students/trainees will apply through one SHA in March 2012 for the September 2012 intake • Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed by one team, with IMPT involvement, in one location and on one day

  21. National Recruitment • A maximum of 10 students/trainees will be selected per year and allocated to an accredited training unit • More than likely their choice of unit but not guaranteed • Students will attend both educational establishments

  22. Workplace-based Assessment and Trainee Portfolio • Continuous assessment using a series of validated tools and taken by trainee and trainer together • Case-based discussion (CbD) • Direct observation of practical skills (DOPS) • Multi-source feedback (MSF) • Self-assessment (online) • Observation of clinical events (based on Mini-Cex) • Competency Logbook and Online Portfolio

  23. The Future • Affiliation with RCS • To work with the Academy • Accredited Specialist Expertise (ASE) • Higher Specialist Scientific Training Programme • Workforce planning • National tariff • National/regional commissioning

  24. One Giant Leap for Maxillofacial Prosthetics My Thoughts • The best offer we’ve had • Nothing will be “right” for every unit • Diverse profession • No “typical” MFP • ASE will cove all the other subject areas • Units may run course (as now) • Collaboration with RCS Questions?
