East Midlands Healthcare Workforce Deanery

Organisational background

The East Midlands Healthcare Workforce Deanery has been formed from the integration of the Postgraduate Deanery and the Workforce Development Confederation (WDC). Its aim is to radically review the strategies for workforce development and education and fully integrate the service provided.

For this pilot project, it will be working in partnership with Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust where the pilot will be based. Northampton General Hospital is a large district hospital with more than 700 beds, including ITU, HDU, and coronary care wards along with a 24-hour Accident & Emergency department. It has a wide range of in-patient, day case and out-patient treatment for acute medical and surgical conditions.
