Health Professions: Apprentices

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had, and with whom, about the development of degree apprenticeships in healthcare, including nursing and pharmacy.

Answer

The Government has had discussions across a wide range of stakeholders about the development of degree apprenticeships. However, it is the role of the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education along with the trailblazer group to take forward the development of any apprenticeship.

The Institute ensures that trailblazer groups are made up of a range of employers and reflective of those who employ people in the occupation, including small employers.
