Job summary
The role of Associate Dean (AD) in England has evolved over a number of years, as a result of changes in healthcare education and training, the implementation of revalidation, the emergence of new workforce solutions and the continuing development of Health Education England (HEE) and subsequently the Workforce, Training and Education (WT&E) Directorate of NHS England (NHSE).
Main duties of the job
The roles of the ADs in NHSE East of England (EoE) have been developed to help support the NHSE EoE Postgraduate Dean (PGD) in embracing corporate, statutory and non-statutory functions, aligning with previous HEE mandates and NHSE's priorities. The role is focused firmly upon improving patient and learner safety and experience and ensuring effective educational outcomes.
To support the PGD, the ADs will work across the spectrum of healthcare and, where relevant, social care, within the context of a team, so that the provision of education reflects changing service models. This will deliver an integrated workforce comprising individuals from a spectrum of professional and other backgrounds.
The ADs are professionally and managerially accountable to the NHSE EoE PGD.
This particular role is designed to oversee and deliver the procurement strategy for cadaveric training in all specialities across the East of England.
