District HETI Statewide Training Requests
The Health Education & Training Institute (HETI) is responsible for developing education and training resources that meet the needs of the NSW Health workforce. As an organisation, HETI aims to be responsive and innovative, developing cross-disciplinary programs and profession specific programs when required that support statewide priorities. This is done through the development of strong partnerships that respond to identified needs.
The District HETI Statewide Training Request process is the method whereby staff from participating District HETI partner agencies can nominate online education and training needs. These requests will be considered for development by District HETI for inclusion on My Health Learning.
Participating District HETI partners include all Local Health Districts, Sydney Children’s Hospital Network, Justice Health and Forensic Mental Health Network and NSW Health Pathology.
The new District HETI Statewide Training Request process includes the following five stages:
Stage 1 – High level preliminary applications from all LHD/SHNs submitted to HETI via an online request form.
Stage 2 – Training needs results from Stage 1, organised and themed by HETI.
Stage 3 – Advisory groups/panels will review all applications using the HETI statewide learning assessment rubric. These groups will provide additional information to support and identify high priority training requests.
Stage 4 – Feedback will be provided for all applications. The priority learning requests reviewed by the advisory groups will be themed and returned to the LHD/SHNs for second stage prioritisation and enable expansion, identify subject matter experts within the LHD/SHN that may wish to be engaged with the subject, and relevant local training resources to be identified that will inform the end product. LHD/SHNs will submit final expanded submissions.
Stage 5 – The District HETI Priority Education Review Committee will meet to review and nominate final decisions for selection.
