Shaping a vision for a 'New Generation' workforce

Description/Abstract

In this paper Dr Debra Humphris and Dame Jill Macleod Clark, pioneers of the New Generation programme at Southampton University, outline the changes to the education of professionals that they believe are necessary if the healthcare workforce is to be prepared for the future. Their far-reaching recommendations highlight the need for methods of inter-professional education to be fully explored and for the wider healthcare environment to be better equipped to recieve professionals trained in new and innovative ways.
