Evaluation of NHSE Education Quality Data Indicators

The National Education and Training Survey (NETS) launched in 2019 and has since provided the only national platform to collect feedback from learners and professionals working across the full breadth of the health and care system. This insight into learner experience is vital in reducing student attrition, improving workforce retention and reducing inequalities and discrimination. The NETS questions have evolved over time and additional features, such as professional branching, have been added. After six years it is important that the current question set is independently validated for content and dependability along with the statistical model used to analyse the response dataset. The NETS now produces millions of individual data lines. As such, it is important that the questions and statistical model are appropriate, robust and offer a framework from which evidence-based decisions can be made.
