Lifelong learning, partnership and modernization in the NHS

Article Abstract:

The involvement of trade unions in training and education in the National Health Service (NHS) is studied. Trade unions have been largely absent, and therefore largely uninfluential, in workplace learning initatives. Unions are also unable to determine the manner in which organizations interpret and implement the Skills Escalator concept.
