The National Health Service (NHS) is proposing to establish local consortia for educational contracting, with a wider involvement and responsibility being devolved to service managers. This paper addresses the educational issues of purchasing post‐qualifying professional education for a cross‐section of NHS hospital professionals. The professions chosen for comparison were clinical staff and include nurses, doctors, and as an example of paramedical professions', physiotherapists.
