Your guide to the national HCSW learning survey
This national learning survey seeks to understand Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professions (NMAHP) Healthcare Support Worker (HCSWs) experience of learning and developing at work in NHS Scotland.
NHS Education for Scotland (NES) carried out the national HCSW survey in 2011 and again in 2018, with both surveys receiving a great response from HCSWs. However, many things have changed since the 2018 survey was conducted.
HCSW roles continue to evolve and in recognition of the development, advancements, and changing landscape of HCSW roles and the spotlight that has been on HCSW role development as driven by the Scottish Government HCSW commission over the last three years, now is the time to revisit the national HCSW learning survey.
NES is expanding the reach of the survey to not only gauge the views directly from NMAHP HCSWs but also seek to understand the views of managers and educators who are involved in supporting and facilitating HCSW’s learning.
What happens with the survey results?
NES will analyse the results from the HCSW learning survey and a national report will be produced and shared summarising the findings.
Each health board will be provided with their own board specific survey results to support local planning and progression of HCSW learning and development.
