Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) sits alongside Health Boards and Trusts and have a leading role in the education, training, development, and shaping of the healthcare workforce, supporting high-quality care for the people of Wales.
The HEIW Pharmacy team have a key role in the educational development of staff across Wales. They are therefore required to commission various courses for staff members, at various HEI’s across the UK, to meet their remit of upskilling the pharmacy workforce. Whilst there are currently contracts in place to support courses within Wales, there is nothing in place for university sources in other parts of the UK.
HEIW therefore propose to establish a non-committal framework agreement, for a period of four years, with an option to extend for a further four years, as a compliant solution for the provision of various courses at various higher education establishments across the UK.
