Clinical Training Agency Strategic Intentions 2004–2013

Date of publication: January 2004

HP 3558

The Clinical Training Agency Strategic Intentions 2004–2013 strategy was developed after an extensive consultation process, and all forecasts are based on currently available data. Budget availability, workforce needs analysis, government priorities, and the impacts on Maori development are the core influences determining the quantity of training purchased.

During 2003 the CTA established new initiatives in several areas. Support and access for Pacific trainees have been developed, a major review of training for rural medical practitioners was initiated, and a new specification for the training of medical physicists was developed. A pilot programme for first-year clinical nursing practice was carried out during the year, and the results of the evaluation have been published.

Planning does not stop with the publication of this document. It will always be necessary to refine and update predictions to ensure that we maintain ongoing consistency with government direction, service requirements and workforce trends. The CTA welcomes input from the sector in the development of the Strategic Intentions plan in the future.
