	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the report by the British Society for Rheumatology Specialist Nursing in Rheumatology: the State of Play, published on 30 April, in particular its findings on the number of unfilled vacancies within the rheumatology specialist nurse workforce; and what steps they are taking to assist NHS Trusts in England with recruitment to those posts.

	uin	HL16104
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/06/2019 answer text <p>We have noted the report published by the British Society of Rheumatology. The challenges they highlight are why part of the NHS Long Term Plan’s mission is to make the National Health Service a world class employer and deliver the workforce the NHS needs. To deliver on these commitments the NHS published a new interim People Plan on 3 June that set out a shared vision and plan of action to put NHS people at the heart of NHS policy and delivery. The interim People Plan sets out the action the NHS will take now and over the long term to meet the challenges of supply, reform, culture and leadership.</p><p>Individual NHS employers are responsible for training the right number of rheumatology specialist nurses, based on the needs of the population they serve. Health Education England works with NHS employers to support the development of registered nurses so they can fill these specialist roles.</p><p>A programme of work is underway at Health Education England to develop an Advanced Clinical Practice framework that will allow health professionals to develop their careers and learn specialist skills, such as in rheumatology. Organisations are being supported to understand this level of practice and how they can develop and support their workforce into Advanced Clinical Practice level roles.</p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 19/06/2019 12:38:53 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with (1) Health Education England, (2) NHS Education for Scotland, (3) Health Education and Improvement Wales, and (4) Health and Social Care Northern Ireland, about promoting the study of rheumatology within (a) the undergraduate, (b) postgraduate, and (c) professional training, medical community.

	uin	HL16105
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/06/2019 answer text <p>The Government has not included any requirement in its Mandate to Health Education England (HEE) with regards to promoting rheumatology training.</p><p>Undergraduate medical students and foundation doctors receive career guidance throughout their training to help them in their choice of subsequent career speciality. This enables them to consider what they would be best suited to and what career opportunities exist within the National Health Service. This includes career fairs, which may be meetings or virtual, when colleges and societies are available to give more detail on the own specialties. For rheumatology this will include the British Association of Rheumatology.</p><p>HEE manages the recruitment process for postgraduate training programmes in medicine. In 2018, 100% of the 50 rheumatology specialty training posts available were filled. The number of training posts appointed to is agreed each year in balance with all the other training posts required. These include training posts in general practice, where most rheumatological conditions are managed primarily or jointly in primary care settings.</p><p>Healthcare education, training and recruitment in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland is a matter for the devolved administrations in each nation.</p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 19/06/2019 12:38:05 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran
