Determining the Training Needs of Planners

Since the NHS Planning System was formally introduced in 1976 both it and the NHS itself have undergone a succession of changes and reorganisations. To facilitate the introduction of the Planning System an integrated programme in training for planning was established by the DHSS. Over the years since then, training in planning has developed in a less integrated manner and by the late 1980s it was felt that the situation should be reviewed to meet the challenges of the forthcoming round of strategic planning. Accordingly, the Health Services Management Centre was commissioned to carry out a study into the training needs of planners. Because of the restricted timescale a workshop approach was adopted and leading planners and managers from all tiers and all professions from different parts of England and Wales were invited to participate. The project had two main foci which are discussed here. Firstly, current and future changes in the NHS and its environment which might or will impact on health care planning and, secondly, the identification of the groups which require training in planning, the skills and competencies they require and possible methods of acquisition.

Is There a Future for Planning Teams?

Health care planning in the NHS is undergoing a revolution. The proposals in Working for Patients, which involve the separation of funding from the provision of services, and the proposals for community care in Caring for People have profound consequences for the planning and provision of services for the so-called priority groups. Planning teams, which were first established after the 1974 reorganisation, have been one of the main vehicles for planning coordinated care for such groups. The current study, which updates earlier findings, was carried out shortly before the publication of Working for Patients. It found an increased number of planning teams catering for a wider range of client groups, increasing unit involvement in care group planning and more emphasis on joint planning with local authorities. The implications of the findings for the post-review NHS are discussed, in particular the future of joint planning, the future of CHC involvement in planning and the future of planning teams themselves.
