	question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what progress Health Education England made in reducing the levels of attrition for students studying for a nursing degree both full and part-time in the years 2013–14 to 2015–16.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2016 answer text <p>Health Education England (HEE) has established a project: Reducing Pre-registration Attrition and Improving Retention (RePAIR) to identify areas of best practice in reducing avoidable attrition. The project, which focuses on the four fields of nursing (adult, children, learning disabilities and mental Health), midwifery and therapeutic radiography, has established a new definition of ‘pure attrition’ agreed by the RePAIR Steering Group on 30 November 2015 to set a national baseline:</p><p>‘Percentage of students who did not complete within the standard pathway for that programme’.</p><p>This is a high level standard metric to measure improvement and was required to overcome inconsistencies with other attrition definitions. HEE is now in a position to understand the headline message about how many students complete their course of study within the commissioned period of their programme. The data collected to date for the four fields of nursing, midwifery and therapeutic radiography is as follows:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Period</p></td><td><p>Average % of students that do not complete within the standard pathway</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013/14 (Baseline year)</p></td><td><p>32.77</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014/15</p></td><td><p>30.54</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><em>Source: </em>Health Education England</p><p>Data for 2015/16 is not yet available.</p><p>The RePAIR project was tasked with defining attrition in a more meaningful way and working with Healthcare Environment Inspectorates (HEIs) to address the reasons behind attrition. It should be noted that previous such collections, in the main, looked at the number of students who failed to complete their programme of study at any point (leaving the programme for personal reasons, or failing examinations).</p><p>The new methodology seeks to analyse students not completing their programme of study on schedule, as well as those who do not complete it at all, as this is a crucial factor in ensuring a timely and sufficient supply of clinical staff in the National Health Service. Some of these students will go on to complete their studies but over a longer time frame.</p><p>The RePAIR project has established a number of case study sites to gain a greater depth of understanding about what influences a student’s decision to stay on a course and test some proposed interventions to improve retention. The RePAIR Project will report its findings and present its data for 2015/16 in autumn 2017.</p><p>HEE will continue to work with HEIs and others to find solutions to attrition.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton question first answered 06/12/2016 14:20:57 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2016 answer text <p>The Department is not aware of one single definition of student attrition across the organisations highlighted.</p><p> </p><p>The Department’s Mandate to Health Education England (HEE) includes a requirement for HEE to reduce attrition rates from training programmes by 50% by 2017. HEE defines attrition in the fields of fields of nursing, midwifery and therapeutic radiography as the “Percentage of students who did not complete within the standard pathway for that programme.”</p><p> </p><p>This attrition metric is completely new so should not be benchmarked to other attrition definitions, such as the Higher Education Funding Council for England’s non-continuation rate for United Kingdom nursing students which has previously been referred to. This high-level standard metric is designed to overcome inconsistencies with other attrition definitions and to measure improvement nationally.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton question first answered 06/12/2016 15:20:04 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton

The range of scenarios comes from the variation in the assumed levels of ‘other’ joiners and leavers as extracted by HEE from the Electronic Staff Record (for example, the treatment of leavers and joiners classed as 'Unknown’). In the lower scenario, there are more ‘other’ types of leaver (6.3%) each year than ‘other’ types of joiner (3.9%). In the higher scenario, ‘other’ types of joiners and leavers are in broadly in balance (at around 3%).</p><p> </p><p>The lower forecast scenario acts to highlight the importance of the system acting to improve staff retention alongside efforts to reduce course attrition and improve employment rates.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton question first answered 06/12/2016 14:18:26 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton
