Standards of education and training: pre-consultation workshop (patients and service users)

The standards of education and training (SETs) are designed to ensure that future health and care professionals are equipped to deliver safe and high-quality care to people across the UK. 

We’re currently reviewing the SETs to make sure they're up-to-date with current practice. In the pre-consultation phase, we work with a range of stakeholders to gather insights.

We invite all patients, service users, patient groups and representatives to an online workshop to share their thoughts.

We want to hear about your needs and experiences and what you want to see from your health and care professionals.  

Attendees will be asked to share their views through answering a series of questions relating to key themes.

About the standards

You can find out about the standards of education and training on our website. Here are some of the standards that relate most directly to patients and service users:

• 3.7 – Service users and carers must be involved in the programme.  

• 3.17 – There must be an effective process in place to support and enable learners to raise concerns about the safety and wellbeing of service users.  

• 4.10 – The programme must include effective processes for obtaining appropriate consent from service users and learners.  

• 5.4 – Practice-based learning must take place in an environment that is safe and supportive for learners and service users.
