The Higher Development Award
Health Education England continues to engage with Employers, Colleges and the Association of Colleges across the country, providing support to structure the Higher Development Award (HDA) for your area. The HDA is a personal development programme for Support Workers that enables Clinical and Non-Clinical Support Workers from all sectors to “Be the best and acknowledge potential”.
To find out more about the programme and join the national network please e mail Higher Development Award higherdevelopmentaward@hee.nhs.uk
The Higher Development Award has an expansive range of resources so you can find out more about the programme, its place within your Support Worker pathway and look at how other areas have developed the staff for their areas. By joining the NHS Futures platform Higher Development Award - FutureNHS Collaboration Platform you will have access to the full range of guidance.
Learner Case Studies and Videos
The following videos were recorded during the initial 3 cohorts of the HDA and reflect some of what the programme will represent in terms of building confidence, addressing functional skills and how important they are and finally the service improvement project which takes the learning back to the workplace.
