This week’s HSJ training and development supplement looks at how postgraduate education is preparing staff for work in the new NHS.

The first chapter looks at postgraduate education for NHS staff is as much about preparing them for the new focus on professional accountability as it is self-development. Alison Moore discusses how recruiters are looking for excellent and inquisitive candidates.

The Open University has helped over 1,000 healthcare support workers overcome barriers to becoming registered nurses, as discussed in the second chapter. Four NHS staff tell of their reasons and rewards for taking this education route.
