Our Partners

We have well established relationships with;

• Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust (WAST)
• Health Education and improvement Wales (HEIW)
• Strategic Programme for Primary Care (SPPC)

Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust (WAST)

In 2018 and working collaboratively with WAST we embarked on a Once for Wales Welsh Government funded Pacesetter project.

We continue to work with WAST to develop their Advanced Paramedic Practitioner (APP) workforce.

You can find out more about this project here.

Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW)

HEIW are a critical friend, colleague and advocate for our Academy. We have been working with colleagues in HEIW to develop our Academy programmes and schemes and to share our learning along the way.  At BCUHB we are one of the first health boards to embrace and core fund the Academy model in order to offer a dedicated team and resource to focus on the Skills, Education, Training and Supervision of our workforce in primary care in a more coordinated manner.

Strategic Programme for Primary Care (SPPC)

The Strategic Programme for Primary Care Team have welcomed the findings from our WAST collaborative Pacesetter programme as citied in the Primary and Community Care Allied Health Professions (AHP) Workforce Guidance: Organising principles to optimise utilisation.

Clusters

The Academy works in partnership with the clusters, identifying opportunities to introduce new roles, establish stronger links and collaborative working. Clusters have been instrumental in developing the Academy programmes.
