Background to Practice Education Roles • Role of the PEF • Practice Education Facilitator (PEF) roles developed in 2004 to support practice learning for pre-registration nursing in NHS areas across Scotland • PEFs have a tripartite pay agreement with NHS boards, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and NHS Education for Scotland (NES).

Development of CHEF • NES introduced the Care Home Education Facilitator role in 2010, to provide equality across practice learning environments who support pre-registration nursing students. • CHEF role fully funded by NES • CHEF numbers in each board determined by the usage of independent care homes as student placements in 2010

CHEF contracts • Short fixed term funding contracts (1 year / 2 years) until very recently when they have been made substantive – Negative effect on recruitment, retention and sustainability of the CHEF role – Negative effect on collaborative working and project development – Variable collaboration with NHS and HEIs
