Why is there no national consistency checking of KSF post outlines?
The NHS KSF is a UK-wide framework that has been designed for local use. It defines and describes the knowledge and skills that individuals need to apply in their work in order to deliver quality services. The purpose of the KSF is to facilitate the development of services so that they better meet the needs of users and the public through investing in the development of all staff. National KSF post outlines and national consistency checking is likely to stifle the development of services locally rather than facilitate it. As the name of the KSF indicates it is a framework for local use, not a national prescription for how things have to be done across the UK.
