Local education and training board

Local education and training boards (LETBs) are the thirteen regional structures in the health education and training system of the NHS in England, established as part of the NHS reforms of April 2013.^[1] They are statutory committees of Health Education England^[2]

Role

LETBs have three main functions:^[3]

to identify and agree the local needs for education and training - to deliver the right people and skills to meet future service needs
to plan and commission high quality education and training in its region in order to secure future workforce supply and improve patient outcomes
support national workforce priorities set by Health Education England

Certain LETBs may take responsibility for the national coordination of education and training of some of the smaller professions,^[4]^[5] for example HEE West Midlands is the lead commissioner for Healthcare science.
