The Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety (DHSSPS) annually commissions from both education and service providers a wide range of development and education activities. These may include: study days; modules; courses leading to an academic award; and a range of development activities.
A Quality Assurance Framework, developed by NIPEC and endorsed by the DHSSPS, is used to quality assure a sample of commissioned activity each year.
The Framework was designed with a particular focus on the contribution of commissioned education and development activities to the enhancement of patient and client care through improving the knowledge and skill base of participants.
