Further to a previous post (18/11/10), Skills for Health have issued more details about the new Vocationally Related Qualifications to be offered in the Health sector.
Specialised subject areas included are: Health Informatics (IT), Healthcare Support, Emergency Care Assistance, Optical Retail, Pharmacy Service, Allied Health Profession Support (n.b. excludes Radiography), Blood Donor Support, Dental Nursing, Maternity and Paediatric support, Pathology Support.
VRQs are different from NVQs, which they replace from 1st January 2011, in that they are based on learning outcomes rather than knowledge and performance criteria.
