Hi paul
Thank you for your email
I am sorry that you are not happy with the visual
I have received hundreds of emails following its publication and your is the
first which expresses dissatisfaction. The design was developed through
consultation and testing with several hundred nurses across a number of the
pathways - it were their ideas which led to its development in the way it
does
We did not do specific work with OH nurses to map careers and the prototype
is only that - giving an indication of some roles - it is not meant to be
inclusive
The next phase to develop an interactive e-tool will enable us to include
the full ranhe of roles
I am copying in colleagues who will be working with me to take this forward
and we will bear your comments in mind
In the mean time you may wish to think about with colleagues in OH how you
might use it to promote nad develop OH nursing careers - we would. E
delighted to hear how you get on
Best wishes
Chris

Subject: Nursing Career Framework
Dear Chris,
I have just seen the framework prototype in the CNO bulletin and online at
DH.gov.uk.
I largely like the prototype as it gives a very clear indication of the
tremendous variety of nursing career pathways. I do however have a couple
of fundamental issues. Firstly, I believe the model is flawed in it's basic
structure and I wonder if it would have been better to start with the junior
nursing grades in the centre of the model with more advanced and specialist
areas radiating out of the centre. The career routes for experienced nurses
are incredibly varied and many of these possibilities are not shown. For
example, the prototype doesn't show how one could become the Chief Nursing
Officer.
I also have a significant issue about the public health nursing segment of
the model. I think this area does not do any justice to my own area of
practice, Occupational Health Nursing, and the model seems to suggest it is
subservient to health visiting and school and family nursing. Occupational
Health Nursing is a very important and highly specialised area of nursing
practice with education now commencing at degree level and increasingly at
masters level. I am presently undertaking a doctorate and the model does
not have an appropriate area for progression within my practice arena yet I
am aware of many options open to me.
My main reason for flagging my concerns to you relate to the impression the
model may give to nurses considering careers in Occupational Health nursing
or students or other nurses at the start of their careers. I note that in
the CNO bulletin that there was no mention of OH nurses participating in the
development of the model and I think this was a lost opportunity.
I would be grateful if my concerns could be noted. I would be happy to
contribute to any future discussion and development of the model if my
opinion would be valued.
Kind regards
