Purchasing post-qualifying professional education in the health care sector.
The National Health Service (NHS) is proposing to establish local consortia for educational contracting, with wider involvement and responsibility being devolved to service managers. This paper addresses the educational issues of purchasing post-qualifying professional education for a cross-section of NHS hospital professionals. The professions chosen for comparison were clinical staff and include nurses, doctors, and as an example of paramedical professions', physiotherapists.
