alongside newer models of education (new Acute Oncology training curriculum) and better support for clinical colleagues (including junior medical staff). We plan to link this expansion with a launch of a Christie Chief Registrar role – focused on service innovation and training. 5. Developing current and future staff potential Alongside specific clinical skills training, Christie Education has successfully introduced and embedded a new learning needs analysis framework aligned to the “Four Pillars of Professional Practice” (practice skills and competencies, research & innovation, teaching and training of others, and leadership), succession planning. This focus in generic skills development is essential both for career development (recruitment, retention, talent management and succession planning) and adapting to new roles and ways of working. An active external partnership model will allow a more efficient (and fluid) model of internal development and external sharing of content from trusted sources. Our commitment is to leverage this approach to support all staff groups at all stages of their career – evidenced by impact in rising numbers of apprenticeships and staff studying Masters’ level (equivalent) clinical practice modules 5.1 Christie Education is currently implementing a new ‘People Development Group’ as a joint initiative between Education and Workforce to ensure maximal alignment of fully inclusive and accessible education/training against need for all workforce areas. Whilst this partnership focuses on internally facing education, many of its activities and products will be applicable locally (e.g., within GM cancer alliance) and internationally. 5.2 As part of benchmarking and aligning the products within the People Development Group, an external review by Skills for Health will focus on essential training and internal training provision 5.3 Contributions from board members are welcomed (e.g., through case studies, ‘ask the expert’, ‘leader in residence’ opportunities for colleagues to meet established and successful leaders) to augment/enhance relevant Christie Education activities 6. Supporting education of cancer professionals nationally and internationally A key success of Christie Education business over the pandemic to date has been the delivery of virtual education for our external ‘brands’ (e.g. Gateway C, Maguire Unit). Whilst staged face-face return of events are underway, we will continue to offer hybrid / hyflex / asynchronous options where possible to attract engagement from as wide an audience as possible (recognising the rich contribution to learning that diversity bring). Over 6000 delegates attended Education events over the 21/22 year (with a strong mix of UK and international audiences), and a focus of ongoing work centres on capturing the impact of learning from this network of alumni. 6.1 Regional activity: Christie Education continues to be a major partner within GM Cancer Alliance Education activity; Richard Fuller has joined the MAHSC Cancer domain Board with a focus on developing/driving educational ambition and outputs. The Maguire unit continues to be contracted for external business from other regional and national health and social care organisations. 6.2 At a national level, Gateway C output and reach continues to grow, with contracts secured for delivery in NHS Wales and conversations with NHS Scotland underway. The platform now hosts over 12000 active users, and engages with ~15% of all UK GPs. A strategic refresh will focus on growing, and maximising dissemination from the platform with a mixture of partners. A substantial strategic refresh is underway within the PET-CT Academy’s portfolio of education. The Christie has been successful in competitively
