The National Clinical Homecare Association (NCHA) and Skills for Health have launch the UK’s first career and competence framework for clinical and nursing roles in clinical homecare services. This industry-wide Clinical Homecare Career and Competence Framework supports the development and retention of existing staff and the transferability of competency within and between homecare organisations. The Framework will facilitate shared understanding, decrease the potential for differences in interpretation and support robust commissioning of high-quality homecare services, equipping the workforce to provide personalised, high-quality care. The Framework will also provide a sense of the opportunities available to the current and future workforce by articulating the career potential of working in this setting. You can access the Framework from the Skills for Health website here: https://www.skillsforhealth.org.uk/clinical-homecare-and-competence-framework
