Guest guest Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Having worked as a health visitor and children's centre team leader, I started working as a senior lecturer back in September with a remit to explore the potential of developing a health visitor training course to be delivered by our institution. Following your recent discussions, I am having great difficulty seeing the wood for the trees. Following on from the Health Visiting Review and the issues around NMC registration, I am not sure where this leaves us. If there is anyone who feels they have a sufficient handle on the situation to discuss where we are at in terms of education I would be exceedingly grateful.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Nichola, thank you for this query, although I am not sure that I can answer it. I find it interesting that even those of us who have followed all the twists and turns are now confused, and that very senior and clearly competent people like your self and are saying: this is very hard to follow and very challenging to try and understand. So where does that leave members of the public, or aspiring students, or practitioners with no background in education? Regulation is certainly not clear or transparent.The biggest problem facing health visitor education as it stands is the lack of commissions for students, so courses are closing down. I don't know whether it is any more promising for 2008-09; does anyone else know?
