Learning
The Academy learning pillar supports the collaboration of BSW health and care employers and education institutes to increase knowledge and skills and optimise the quality of care we deliver to our communities via greater accessibility and quality of training opportunities across BSW.

What is the learning pillar?
The learning pillar represents the ambitions and work of the BSW system education specialists. It provides structures and forums as well as resources to enable us to work collaboratively to improve the quality, access, and support in all areas of learning and development.
Our collaborative programmes support people working and who want to work across BSW health and care by creating opportunities to learn and develop - opening doors into exciting careers in health and social care.
Who is involved?
The work of the pillar is delivered via a network of steering groups and communities of practice. Many of those involved work in an educational role across BSW either in a health and social care organisation or in an education institution, such as a school, college or university.
If you’d like to get involved please contact Vanessa Ongley (Pillar Lead) on v.ongley@nhs.net
