title: Skills development. Boardroom blitz.
abstract: The sector skills agreement for health will be launched across England in July, six months later than originally planned. The agreement uses a competence-based approach, meaning standardisation across organisations. Competencies will be used to develop new job roles, such as emergency care practitioner, assistant radiographer and cancer care practitioner.
