Work based learning in health care: innovations and applications.

Service improvement in health care continues to be a dominant theme despite the considerable change and transformation that has taken place in the NHS. Continuing pressure from service funders and users alike for greater choice, responsiveness and higher standards of care poses real challenge and opportunity. New ways of working and learning for service improvement will need to be embraced and health care professionals, clinicians and managers and staff at all levels of care will need to value the potential that can be gained from continuing professional development through Work Based Learning.

This collection of papers is based on the proceedings of the Work Based Learning Conference, "Work Based Learning for Health and Social Care: Innovations and Applications" hosted by Middlesex University 25th February 2004.
