1. Introduction and Executive Summary
"Health Education England exists for one reason and one reason only; to support the delivery of excellent healthcare and health improvements to
the patients and the public of England, by ensuring that our workforce has the right numbers, skills, values and behaviours, at the right time and
in the right place"
This is the Quarter Three (Q3) Integrated Performance Report (IPR) for Health
Education England (HEE) covering the period from 1 October to 31 December
2014. The report measures progress against the 2014/15 Business Plan and
Mandate deliverables.
The IPR continues to evolve and as at Q3 there are now 163 deliverables being
actively monitored and reported against. There has been a slight increase in the
number of deliverables reported (there were 160 in Q2) to reflect changes agreed
with Senior Responsible Officers (SROs) and to enable HEE to recognise its inyear achievements and monitor ongoing programmes of work. The projects being
managed through the Portfolio Office have also been mapped to the IPR this
quarter.
Exception reports for deliverables where slippage has occurred are reported in
Section 5.
The following traffic light (RAG) system has been applied:
The IPR is structured as follows:Excecutive Summary,
Full IPR Progress Updates (available on-line),
Business Plan Priority Commitments (available on-line),
Benchmarking Charts (available on-line).
The Executive Summary provides: a high-level overview of HEE's performance. This
report has been structured using the HEE Business Plan Domains. Section 2
provides a description of the domains; Section 3 illustrates performance by domain
and Section 4 shows a high level progress overview for each deliverable.

1. Introduction and Executive Summary (continued)
Analysis of the Quarter 3 position shows that:56 (34.4%) of our deliverables have been achieved (an increase from 20.0% in
Q2);
67 (41.1%) are on target to be achieved (a decrease from 48.8% in Q2);
39 (23.9%) are making some progress although slippage is likely to occur to
the original delivery date (an improvement on 48 (30.0%) reported last
quarter);
HEE's Business Plan identifies a number of deliverables that are considered key
priorities 2014/15. Reporting of these priorities can be found in the BP Priority
Commitments report. Highlights from each of the domains follow:-
Domain 1: Workforce Planning
1 (0.6%) is yet to be rated as this is a new area of work (an improvement from
2 (1.3%) reported in Q2).
There has been no change in the RAG status for the 4 deliverables since last
quarter. The 2015/16 workforce planning process has been designed, agreed and
implemented, and the final plan was submitted to the December Board in line with
the agreed timetable. Although the deliverable Data Collections with HSCIC and
Professional Bodies (WP1_002) remains Amber, the funding issues have now been
resolved and the programme has re-started, with two proposed collections per year,
commencing in Spring.
The chart below illustrates the positive progress being made, and
demonstrates that that the performance management approach is working:
Domain 2: Health Careers
0 deliverables are rated red (no change on last quarter).
Of the 17 deliverables reported against this domain none have shown a decrease in
confidence of delivery. Four deliverables have been reported as being achieved this
quarter. Customer Satisfaction of the National Careers Helpline (HC1_007)
continues to remain very high as does the recommendations of the service to
others. Regarding Access to Higher Education (HC2_014), a soft launch of strategy
is in place with a formal launch planned for March. A directory of Widening
Participation (HC2_015) initiatives has been developed to promote best practice, and
which has received positive feedback. The interactive framework for Values Based
Recruitment (VBR) (HC3_023) was delivered in October and will continue to be
updated with new information, and an interim data report is being developed to track
progress on Testing of VBR Values (HC3_025) which is currently reported as Amber,
but is expected to be delivered by March.

Domain 2: Health Careers (cont.)
Domain 3: Education Commissioning (cont.)
Health Care Apprenticeships (HC2_011) continues to remain on plan and national
standards for health care assistants (HCAs) have been announced by the Department
of Business, Innovation & Skills.
There is increased confidence in the delivery of the following deliverables: A life course
approach to workforce planning is being developed on Safeguarding (EC1_008) which
includes forum representation and informs future activity. A multi-disciplinary digital
Perinatal Mental Health (EC1_009) i-Learning module is being developed, and a set of
core questions and key principles have been devised for Student Feedback (EC3_096),
and are being reviewed by stakeholders. HEE is on track to have the first cohort of
International Medical Trainees (EC4_107) to start next September.
Although the deliverables for National Careers Information (HC1_001), Health Careers
Strategy (HC2_008) and Under-represented Groups (HC2_015) have remained Amber
since Quarter 1, initiatives and actions have been developed in collaboration with
relevant stakeholders to improve progress. Delivery of Under-represented Groups
(HC2_015) is dependent on the release of quality data from HESA and the method of
analysis and reporting.
The update for Testing of Values (HC3_025) indicates that an interim data report will be
available in early January, with a full report by March 2015 for consultation and then
Executive/Geographical Director discussion and agreement. That being the case, the
current Amber rating is probably a pessimistic interpretation.
The Health Careers Strategy (HC1_008) deliverable was due in September 2014,
however it is clearly difficult to achieve this whilst BT is in flight, and whilst
Geographical Directors establish their portfolios – it probably needs a new timeline
agreeing, and the form of document/strategy re-confirming (the suggestion in the update
was a Strategy and separate Business Plan).
Domain 3: Education Commissioning
The Education Commissioning domain reports on 112 deliverables, and the overall
position for this domain has improved; an additional 15 deliverables were reported as
achieved, bringing the total to 41. There were 24 Amber-rated deliverables, reduced from
30 reported last quarter, and 47 Green-rated deliverables compared to 53 in Quarter 2.
There have been some shifts in confidence from green to amber, which indicates that
some slippage to delivery has, or is likely to occur.
These include the programme of work on the Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) strategy
(EC1_051/052). The implementation is expected to be completed by March which is
the delivery date, and an action plan to ensure linkages for the competent prescribing
of AMR is due to be completed 1 month late. Due to an expansion of scope the
workload on Minimum Standards of Mandatory Training for Health and Care (EC3_091)
currently exceeds capacity, and plans are in place to recruit a project manager and
seek support from the expert advisory group. The area of work on Piloting LETB
Quality Metrics (EC3_093) has been placed on hold pending recruitment to the Quality
Transformation post.
Several deliverables have reported as Amber for 3 consecutive quarters. Collaborative
work is under way with E-lfh and TEL to develop training material for Mental Health
programmes (EC1_023 - EC1_027). A standard approach for reporting Attrition
(EC3_083 has been agreed. The Education Training for Trainers programme (EC3_088)
is awaiting the appointment of the new Commissioning and Quality Transformation
teams to take this work forward. The Launch Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL)
hub programme (EC3_089), is being aligned to NHS partner priorities, HEE Business
Plan and Mandate, and barriers to IT are being resolved.
There are several key highlights to note this quarter.
The Medical Schools Council report in supporting the Assessing Aptitude for Medical
Careers (EC2_072) programme recommended incorporating VBR and to consider a wide
range of selection methods. All 4 health departments have agreed a UK-wide mandate
for UK Foundation Programme Development (EC2_074).

Domain 4: Innovation through Investment
Four of 10 deliverables assigned to Innovation through Investment have been
delivered; these relate to Educational Research projects (II1_001/003), Development
of Clinical Academic Pathway (II2_005) and Improving Technological Literacy
(II3_012).
Section 4 provides a high level summary of our achievements and Section 5 the
exception reports for our most challenging areas.
Two deliverables are being reported as on track; Sharing Good Practice and
Knowledge (II3_010) and Driving Improvement and Developing Current Workforce
(II3_011).
Three deliverables have been reported as Amber; Slippage on Embedding Best
Practice (II2_007) is being addressed by defining core responsibilities and forming a
task and finish group. HEE is meeting with regulators to discuss curricula content
including leadership to contribute to the scoping exercise for the Work with
Leadership Academy (II2_008). The slippage of the Genomics and Bio-informatics
programme (II3_009) is being managed through the development of an education and
workforce planning strategy which is to be shared with appropriate stakeholders to
better understand future needs.
Domain 5: Corporate Enablers
Of the 20 deliverables reported against the Corporate Enablers domain, 5 have been
delivered.
There is also increased confidence in delivery of the revised HR and OD service
Model (CE2_019) and the Beyond Transition work programme (CE2_020). Financial
Balance (CE3_034), Administration Costs (CE3_035), Staff Attendance (CE2_030)
and Corporate Website Development (CE2_023) are all on track to meet the delivery
dates.
As a result of staff shortages the Development of the Estates Strategy (CE2_016)
has failed to deliver at Quarter 2 and at Quarter 3, and consequently it risks the
Implementation (CE2_017). A facilities management lead has been appointed and
the Estates Strategy is due to be submitted to the Executive Team in February.
Retention of talent (CE2_031) is a priority for HR leads across HEE, although
Beyond Transition has meant that this is difficult to stabilise at this point in time.
With the end of BT, there is a good opportunity to re-confirm the target and set
expectations for the geographies and LETBs.

Any historical inequities in budget
distribution to LETBs is maintained particularly within the future workforce
area of spend.
Firstly, finance staff attention has been diverted onto
a number of other important issues, including
providing information to support our settlement for
2015/16, and providing analysis and support for the
'beyond transition' process. Secondly, there were
concerns expressed about the availability,
consistency and reliability of data that would
underpin any fundamental changes. Resolution of
the data issues will take longer than time allowed in
the annual planning cycle.
The Chief Information Officer that is
proposed as part of 'Beyond Transition' will
considerably improve data consistency.
Similarly, the revised Financial Management
Team is better placed to take this work
forward and ensure progress in time for
2015/16 budget setting.

The creation of one finance team following

Reputational risk to HEE if it
does not deliver or engage with
other organisations doing work
in this area.
Establishment of HEE working group taking
forward this work in response to the action
plan agreed by the HEE executive was
delayed initially due to a lack of resources
and subsequently because of difficulties in
co-ordinating the diaries of the co-chairs.
First meeting of working group set up to scope
actions for HEE has now taken place. A
specialist antimicrobial pharmacist is being
recruited to help drive this work forward in 2015.
Amber
Reputational risk to HEE if it
does not deliver or engage with
other organisations doing work
in this area.
A bid to the Resource Management Group
for additional resources to support this work
was unsuccessful. The work is therefore
being integrated with other DEQ programmes
including Phase 2 work on Better Training
Better Care and the Human Factors work.
Work has been suspended, pending the
appointment of the new Commissioning and
Quality Transformation teams within DEQ who
are expected to take this work forward.
The hub will enable the
effective share and spread of
TEL technologies and
techniques UK-wide, a core
objective of the programme. The
impact of non-achievement
cannot be measured at this
stage though there is no
alternative option which will
have the same reach and
accessibility as a central hub.
Commissioning and development stages of
the hub put on hold due to increased user
research required as part of Government
Digital Services (GDS) guidelines (digital by
default discovery phase), uncertainty
around the HEE innovation hub and links to
the TEL hub and pending completion of the
HEE digital road map.
Detailed user research to meet GDS
requirements is now complete. This
encompassed user needs survey, desk
research, analysis of events, meetings and
conferences and a variety of focus group and
testing sessions. Business case drafted for
submission to HEE Digital Assurance Group then
GDS team. Hub development to start January 15.

Details of action being taken
The initial draft of the strategy
will become out-of-date and
achieving some of the
deliverables will become more
difficult. It could also impact on
the delivery of other projects
such as the widening
participation strategy an talent
for care.
The strategy has been superseded by
Beyond Transition and the SRO plans to
discuss it with the four geographical
directors in January to better understand
their level of involvement in a national
careers strategy and its delivery.
Following the SROs conversation with four
geographical directors, the strategy is likely to
require redrafting and may need to be split into
two documents - a short strategy and a
business plan. Discussions are also taking place
on how a national careers service and LETB
services can work together.

This means the opportunity to

The WIA project was expected to be
financed by DH Grant In Aid to HSCIC; this
funding source did not materialise. Insecurity
of funding resulted in delays in
implementation of the programme.

Funding for WIA has now been secured for
2014-15 (shared between DH, HEE and NHS
England) and programme has re-started. The

basis so is re-focused on the Spring collection
rather than the Autumn.
