Education Quality Strategy and Framework

In 2016, NHS England (formally Health Education England) published its first Education Quality Strategy and Education Quality Framework. We have continued to learn and improve how we drive continuous quality improvement, responding with agility and flexibility to the changing landscape of education and training.

We have worked in collaboration with partners and stakeholders to refresh both the education quality strategy and framework. Both align and support our work to deliver the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan, our commitment to improving the quality of healthcare education and training and reduce course leaving rates. We will listen to healthcare learners and work with partners to make lasting improvements to education and training.

To support the education quality framework, launched in 2023, the Safe Learning Environment Charter supports the development of positive safety cultures and continuous learning across all learning environments in the NHS. The Charter sets out the supportive learning environment required to allow learners to become well-rounded professionals with the right skills and knowledge to provide safe and compassionate care of the highest quality.
