The Network supports a culture of shared learning and collaboration, hence education and training is a key focus alongside the development of standardised policies, pathways and protocols.
The Network has an Education Lead seconded into post michelle.emsley@emas.nhs.uk .
A Network Education Strategy is currently under development.
Development of spinal competencies for non-medical staff is a key objective for the Network and a key component of the Education Lead role. This work will support the development of national competencies for spinal practitioners.
