  5. Overview • What IS Testing for the Best? • What’s in Testing for the Best? • Next steps

  6. What IS Testing for the Best? • Some key questions for individuals involved in developing educational solutions for NHSScotland staff include: • What learning or skills are needed by staff? • How can we be sure that our educational developments will address those needs effectively? • How can we ensure that those developments bring best value to the individual learner, the patient and to the service as a whole? • Testing for the Best is a web resource designed to support staff involved in addressing these issues. It is not a prescription for how educational solutions should be developed. Instead, it provides good-practice guidance and access to a wide range of resources.

  7. Why ‘testing for the best’? • The resources are organised around a series of 3 'tests', each designed  to ensure that the educational solution you are developing is as successful as possible. • Test 1: Best outcome - What outcome is required of this new educational solution, and how will we know if we've achieved it? • Test 2: Best design and delivery - How can we design and deliver this educational solution to achieve the best outcome for the service and for the individual user? • Test 3: Best value - How can we ensure that this educational solution delivers best value to the individual and to the service?
