Solihull Care Trust has recently appointed a training broker to assist employers with training PAs, and to support future planning of health training needs.
Carmen Smith has been commissioned to provide employer support to individuals receiving direct payments and individual budgets, who employ PAs.
Carmen’s key responsibilities are to work with employers to identify the training needs of people they hire, and find appropriate training for them.
She is developing a training directory listing training providers and the courses they deliver.
Solihull Care Trust has purchased an e-learning training pack for PAs and trust staff to increase understanding of the PAs' role.
Future plans include provision of NVQs, apprenticeships and training for employers.
A PA events day has been organised for September 2010.
