Health and Social Care Academy (HaSCA)

In order to safeguard its future, the NHS needs to both evolve and change to meet the challenges it faces and only by modernising and developing its workforce can the NHS ensure that it maintains the standards that is always expected of it. The whole healthcare environment is changing, clinicians are being placed at the centre of commissioning, providers are being encouraged to innovate, patients are becoming more empowered and public health has a renewed focus. Social Care is a massive part of the most extensive reorganisation in over 60 years. The social care workforce are charged with delivering a social care system that provides care equally for all, whilst enabling people to retain their independence, control and dignity. The health and social care workforce will need to develop their knowledge and skills to meet the new challenges they are regularly facing and to ensure that they maintain the standards expected of them.
